Second Life Concert Video Catches HondoMesa Dancing

I discovered this video on YouTube last night. It is concert footage of Bara Jonson, a Swedish singer songwriter performing in Second Life (SL). As soon as the camera turns to the audience you can see my SL avatar (HondoMesa) dancing. I'm on the left dressed in black and wearing a cowboy hat. Bara mentions me at the end. Too much.

Randy Travis Turns 49

Randy Travis turned 49 yesterday. Happy Birthday Randy. We love your music here at Hondo Mesa Records. And we love running into you just about every time we go to Santa Fe, New Mexico. It has happened so often that we wonder if you are stocking us or if we are stocking you.

We typically fly into Albuquerque, rent a vehicle, then head north towards Taos. On the way up we always stop at Tomasitas in Santa Fe -- one of our favorite New Mexican restaurants.

While waiting for a table, Randy, his wife and a couple others walked by us as they were leaving the restaurant. The next afternoon, we were hitting the art galleries on Canyon Road and Randy and his wife came walking by again. Coincidence? I don’t know. We started to get suspicious. The next year, it happened again. Only this time, we were walking out of Tomasitas and Randy and family were walking in.

We love you Randy. See you at Tomasitas.
Regards,
Dennis
