Welcome

Hi Second Life music and arts lovers!

As a musician and former RL music/entertainment manager I'm endlessly fascinated with this amazing SL entertainment scene. This blog is about the people that make it all happen. It's the backstage pass that most of us were never able to get our hands on. I welcome you to enjoy the posts and share The Word with your friends.

Mostly, however, I would invite you to support your favorite musicians and the venues in which they perform. And if you hear someone who really turns you on, please let us know. Email me at TraciNubalo@aol.com or send me a notecard or IM inworld. We're always looking for new ideas for articles.

You can find me four times a month in the Metaverse Tribune inworld newspaper. My weekly column is called "Backstage Pass" and features incisive slices of SL music and life. Join me as I get up close and personal with Second Life's best entertainers.

See you there!

I'm THRILLED to announce that my all-new, original SL music articles can now be found on the pages of Scruplz Magazine. It's a very well-done showplace for Second Life© artists, musicians, fashion designers, builders, and content creators of all varieties.

My first contribution will be my recent conversation with Tone Uriza - SL's Big Daddy of the Blues - in the July issue of Scruplz, street date: July 5.

Today we feature a Metaverse Tribune piece on the one and only Maximillion Kleene, the Canadian singer-songwriter who has been wow-ing SL audiences since 2006. Nice guy and IMMENSELY talented.

Fan Mail

Readers of The Word -- and of the numerous SL magazines I have written for -- have said the nicest things about my work over the years. Here's a little sampling:

"Reading Traci's articles, it's obvious that she's passionate about music - and she does a great job of sharing that passion with the reader."

** ** **

"This reminds me of some of the best books and articles I read as a kid in publications such as Rolling Stone, etc. I have bookmarked your page and hope to see many, many more entries."

** ** **

"I've known Traci for a while now. I've seen her at hundreds of shows. Her reporting on these musicians has always been excellent, professional and truthful."

** ** **

"Her work is truly some of the most remarkable examples of a writer's approach to journalism that I have encountered in many years."

** ** **

"Traci's writing zips along, without making you feel breathless. My first thought on reading ‘The Word’ is that there’s a bit of the Gonzo in her, like PJ O’Rourke without his politics."
