Jammin with Blatmore Giles / J. Walter Hawkes tonight!

Posted on December 17, 2006 by

After a full weekend, I came home this evening to find a message from my friend Gigi Giles, telling me that her husband, awesome jazz trombonist J. Walter Hawkes, was playing in Second Life with his trio!  I ‘ported over there as fast as the series of tubes could carry me to find J. Walter just finishing a set at Miso’s Hillside Tap in Parathrene.   Appearing in-world as Blatmore Giles, J. Walter performed gamely despite some technical hiccups.  He even let me sit in on the drums, which was a hoot.

In between sets, Milki Unknown played his her wacky animations that had us in stitches.  Awesome event!

More pics after the jump…

    Cool pix, Rik – thanks for coming by and for posting the shout out here! (p.s. Milki is my SISTER – not a guy)… Hee hee. You played a great drum solo, man! ^_^
