New SL HQ for Hondo Mesa Records

Hondo Mesa Records is building a new building in Second Life. Here is a shot of the current HeadQuarters. We will miss it. But the new place is going to be cool. Our man in Europe, Phil, has a great idea and plans. Once we get into our new digs, we will schedule regular performances of HMR artists -- Bara Jonson, Larry Hoyt, HondoMesa, Brian Francis, maybe even 3rd & Main. Stay tuned.

3rd & Main "single" covers

Hondo Mesa Records' man in Europe, Phil Pascal (of Phillippe Pascal Media & Marketing) just sent me the 3rd & Main single covers he designed. Second Life residents can purchase the full CD or individual cuts. Phil thought it a good idea to have different covers for each single. Smart man. Here are a couple examples:

Hondo Mesa Records recording artist, Corn-Bred, was on air in Europe last week. Two songs, "Boogie Woogie” and “Sittin’ here waiting" were played on WOS-blues. From the information page of WOS's website:

"WOS Blues is the bluesshow of RTV WOS (Westlandse Omroep Stichting) in the Netherlands. The program is broadcasted every wednesdayevening from 21.00 till 22.00 hrs (local time). The program is presented by Frits Krieg and can be received worldwide by internet."

Philippe Pascal tells me that this evening, Corn-Bred will be played again on the program “WOS-Blues.” We can listen to it using internet. Just tune in to http://www.wos.nl/ between 3PM and 4PM EST time, and press the "big button" in the middle of the page. (Saying “Luister online naar WOS Radio – Klik hier). Corn-Bred will be played at the end of the show.
