Dexter Ihnen Concert on La Musique for March 18, 2008 @ 4:00 p.m. SLT

'Amazing virtuosity' - London Times

My second year rezz day is coming up on the 18th of March and I wanted to do something special for it. It did not take long to think of how to make the day special -- ask my talented friend, Dexter Inhen (known as Dexter Moore in RL), to play for everyone on La Musique.


I started out as a fan of his music and it quickly developed into a wonderful friendship. A close knit group of us (Driftwood, Tardis, Richard, me, Fran and Pdv) became what we affectionally called his "entourage." We always have a blast and a lot of laughs. I'm proud to call myself a MegaDexian!





Diane Fairplay, his wife in SL, and Dex even got married on my island, La Musique, on October 21, 2007. A gorgeous wedding!




Like a funkified psychadelic Woody Guthrie, Dexter Moore certainly put the mileage behind him as he spent his early years hitching and busking around the world. As one of his self portrait lyrics portrays in a tribute to Jack Keroac:

'Desolation angel,
just a dharma bum,
Lonesome traveler
on the road'

This is a seasoned traveler whose only inspiration was to live the artists way and to keep the music real.

Here then is an artist who walked away from a major record deal in London in order to keep his integrity intact rather than become one of those who would become what the industry wanted them to be. That is not what an true artist does! It was on this journey that he developed his unique and mesmerizing guitar style - A notable feature that has won Dexter fans all over the world.

Along the way Dexter found the time to learn the arts of sound engineering and record production. Producing a ..1 hit in the process. But it is in his songwriting that he truly captures hearts. Now a multi-award winning songwriter, Dexter Moore sells his CDs worldwide over the internet and at his performances. He has spent months on end at the top of various charts and enjoys a somewhat cult-like following of musicians and discerning listeners.

NEW! Romantic Raft Tour on La Musique

Want to earn some brownie points? Not sure where to go on your next date? Then take them on the new fully automated (leaving your hands free) raft ride on La Musique!

Reminiscent of rides at Disney World, but with a passionate twist. Romance permeates throughout as you glide through the waterways of La Musique taking in breathtaking scenery - past waterfalls, dolphins, sunken treasure and much more.

So whether you chose to snuggle with someone special or float solo, it's not to be missed!




A short distance from the La Musique store you can find the raft dock.


Foxtrot Morales and I are about to take a ride . . .



It's quite simple....









On the raft you will see two poseballs. Whether you ride alone or with someone special, wait until you are seated before you click on the drop down menu. Select "Castaway."








Once you have selected "Castaway," just sit back and enjoy the ride....



"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"




Foxtrot has magically morphed into Oscar Page......!

With your hands free, you can concentrate on more important things like enjoying the romantic scenery, engaging conversation and the highly underrated snuggling....

Come experience La Musique with us . . . .

Célébration d'Amour

Happy Valentine's Day!!


I claim there ain't
Another Saint
As great as Valentine.
~Ogden Nash



To celebrate the holiday, last night La Musique had a ball and concert by Heath Elvehjem. As the sun kissed the sea and the lovers danced, Heath tickled the ivories, serenading the crowd with his soulful ballads and melodies.







Oh, if it be to choose and call thee mine, love, thou art every day my Valentine! ~Thomas Hood











Filled with friends, new and old, our spirits soared as we enjoyed each other's company and the serene ambiance.











Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end. ~Author Unknown





It was a wonderful evening, on a romantic sim, filled with amazing people. Again, Happy Valentine's Day everyone!! Hope your life is filled with love, laughter and song.
