JaNa KYoMooN'S ViRTuaL WeeKeND . . thwarted again!

JaNa KYoMooN'S ViRTuaL WeeKeND . . thwarted again! Sorry folks  - what can I say - my internet connection is down again and I am in the library typing this - However there is a lot going on in the virtual world of Second Life to keep you entertained this weekend - May I suggest DJ Miles 11Hour and the music of Junivers Stockholm for starters . . just search them out - you will not be disappointed . Hope to see you next weekend at the TunaVerse and GoodBye Weekend Show - i have a fail safe plan - which will bypass this nonsense . .  meanwhile the music continues on http://radiojana.com/
Thanks for your support at this frustratingly ' why isn't internet access considered a utility?' time . .

Postcards from Japan . . .

Postcards from Japan

I first went to Japan in 1986 on tour with the Thompson Twins and then again in the 1990s when I was working with Cyndi Lauper.  

We went about half a dozen times - I loved Japan - so many fond memories of the hospitality and kindness of the people and their enthusiasm for live music.

My last trip was in 2001 - I hope I get to go again one day . . . 

A lot of music was inspired by those exciting journeys on the bullet train and walks through the Peace Park at Hiroshima , the beautiful shrines and mountains and islands.

Cyndi first heard my track "Searching" there and started writing lyrics - the song"Mother" was sketched out on a keyboard in a hotel room in Osaka. We used the group Shang Shang Typhoon from Okinawa on "Early Christmas Morning" - it was a dream come true to debut the "Sisters of Avalon" album in Japan in 1996 -7 and to see Ryuichi Sakamoto live at the Budokan . . 

Later on my aTHeNa BLue album I used a recording of walking through the Peace Park at Hiroshima and ringing the Peace Bell. It became the backdrop to the track " The Bell in the Park" - You can hear the crows - I was reminded of that when I heard on an interview about the recent March 11th catastrophe that the first inkling something was about to happen came from the crows just before the earthquake.

Here are a few postcards from Japan posted to my FaceBook account http://facebook.com/jan.pulsford

 . . . they were taken on what was then the first digital camera by casio . . so excuse the resolution!

Look forward to sharing an hour of music with you on Wednesday 3PM Pacific Daylight time - that's 9PM in the UK.

I will be streaming a special hour of live music as part of an online benefit concert being broadcast into the virtual world of Second Life where I perform using the avatar JaNa KYoMooN

You can also hear my concert on http://www.radiojana.com and I will make the show the gift of a  download in return for a donation to the Red Cross

The world has been shocked by what they have seen . . . let's do something, anything to help

Delighted to be performing at this . .

Japan Benefit at the NoteSHack - this from Krakov Letov who is organizing the event

On 11th March, Japan got hit by a 8.9 magnitude earthquake and 45 minutes later, the North-East region got hit by a devastating tsunami.
This is one of the worst natural disasters to happen in Japan.
To help the people of Japan, Notes Shack Pub is organizing a charity event on 16th March (Wednesday), with all proceeds going to Red Cross, in the name of everyone who donated at the pub.
Second Life is a good medium for charity; I hope we will be able to help the people of Japan, even if we are a small part of it.

The event will be held on 16th March at 12pm SLT with 4 live performers.
The Lineup is as follows:
12pm SLT - christopher Walmer (electronica)
1pm SLT - JamesCorachea Resident ( acoustic instrumental)
2pm SLT - The Rails (indie band)
3pm SLT - Jana Kyomoon (ambient)

I hope you will be able to come and donate. Remember all L$ matters.
The funds will go through PayPal to the charity "American National Red Cross, International Relief Fund".
The receipt will be posted later on Second Life and Notes Shack Facebook, as well as personal message will be sent to the Red Cross about everyone who donated and was involved in the event.

as if i didn't have enough to worry about  . . it seems there is a spammer in the works . . why i really don't know . .  why bother to go to all of this disruptive behaviour?. . . i mean no one got rich playing music in Second Life . . . and this is a DJ who is playing other people's music . . . so my apologies to the music ALL music Park group - i am considering closing the group at the weekend and opening a new one with invitations to selected members to join - again apologies and to the spammer . . get a life, preferably not a second one that negatively impacts so many people!!
