Wishing you the very best of the season. Much happiness, prosperity and good health.
AS the year draws to an end, Trow and the TBE team would like to wish you all the very best .. and thank you for the support and friendship over the years.. Trow has been playing in Second Life since 2007, and while his professional life in RL has continued to grow and flourish, he still maintains a strong connection to his time and audience in Second Life. SL allows him the opportunity to play and put together sets that reflect his own personal unique style and to interpret melodies/songs in a way that is distinctive to TBE (Trow Boa Experience)
Trow’s fan based group is the Jazz Snakes, we also use a mailing list … if you are interested in knowing when and where Trow will be playing, please join the Jazz Snake group or ask me (China) to be added to our mailing list.
Trow will be playing this last performance for 2025 on Tuesday, December 29th. at Nat’s Jazz Club, Detroit. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Detroit%20City/79/213/22
Then 2026 he will begin once more at Nat’s Jazz Club, Detroit,.. January 6. Tuesday 2026 at 4 pm.
January 1 st.2026 * (watch for conf. closer to date) which is a Thursday, TBE is scheduled for the Warehouse Speakeasy, from 5 pm – 6 pm slt. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/xFire/208/174/1201
Happiness Always…. we look forward to seeing you soon.
Trowzer Boa & China Takeda
I could show you the scary rooms hidden in the caves, torture chambers, trails of dried blood, and the a number of caves that just a look at what awaits inside, causes you to hold back… do you dare enter. In the first picture our reporter is sitting on a throne (questionable) … under her you will see a black cat… that black cat and others of his kind hold treasure…. If you are lucky enough to find the cats that wander in the tunnels cavorting with the vultures and flying bats… you’ll get a reward.
We missed the actual party that was held there over the weekend, but I’m told that the build will stay up for a few more days..
Our reporter is still MIA (Missing in action) if you find her, please help her get away, if that’s possible.
I am not showing you the horror chambers and the laboratories that Asia sent back to us before she stopped communicating with us. It will be more fun to discover them for yourselves. Bring a friend or friends, you will need the moral support and there is safety in numbers.
This is an adult sim… there is a lot to see and do … bonus the music is fabulous. You can contact JazzySweetTone or Aloysius Washington for more details.. that LM to the hunt/adventure is http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Direwind/49/22/3401
Have fun, and stay safe… look behind doors, in corners, and use the flashlight they provide so you can safely maneuver the dark dank passages.
Trow brings the Trow Boa Experience to the Warehouse Speakeasy on Thursday November 6th. 5 pm. Be prepared, last night at Nat’s he played a lot of new music funky and upbeat. You won’t to miss what he’ll come up with this Thursday. This is your limo to the gig. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/xFire/207/176/1201
Trow will be followed on Thursday by the multi-talented DJ Henri… she will start her set at 6 pm slt.
If you can make it to tour the haunted caves in Direwind, (Al and Jazzy’s place) do it.. you won’t regret it… Especially if you are a photo buff.. you will find lots of interesting backgrounds for your visual or written story line
See you soon…
China Nov. 4.25
PS the devilish couple have left out gifts too… you shouldn’t come away empty handed, altho” I can’t promise you will come away at all..
The other day I was asked, what is the Trow Boa Experience, and why is it different from other venues I can go to? Valid question, there a zillion options in the virtual world to be entertained or to just hear music so you can dance or chill to.
Only at a performance by the musician, Trow Boa can you hear not only his original musical scores, and enjoy old favourites and songs you’ve heard over the years .. done in a style that is unique to the performer himself, Trow Boa. His personal schedule is a busy one, he can only allot certain days and times to the virtual world. He has over 18 years in the virtual world, but has a lifetime of focusing on music .. HIS music, he has played on stages in many parts of the world, his talent and expertise is sought after by other performers to round off their sound, when available they can maybe manage to acquire his talents for their venues.
In the virtual world, he uses the platform to enjoy his craft and hone it to develop the sound and music he is wanting …He does this not only to improve his abilities and musical inventory, he does it because he loves to share his love of music with anyone who like him wants and enjoys the magic a saxophone can create.
To find and enjoy this musician’s music, you can find him in events -Trow Boa – alternatively, join his fan group. The Jazz Snakes, and/or ask to be on his mailing list.
Who is this woman, where have you seen her before? She is Henri McKeenan, you all know her as DJ Henri. She is co-owner with Robby Lock of the well know Speakeasy, the Warehouse (also 1890 Creeds Colorado) …Not only do these two offer up active and entertaining venues, DJ Henri has a knowledge of music that enables her to put together not only entertaining shows, but great music. She can put together almost any genre you think you might want to enjoy.
For this reason she is sought after and asked to perform in other areas of the virtual world. example, you will find her on Isle du Noir* that amazing hideaway of a tropical paradise where pirates and sword fight/fencing tournaments happen on a regular basis. Isle du Noir-– where you can relive the excitement of a vibrant Chinatown, especially Mondays when Dj Henri performs .. near the Casino. (*this is a role play sim)
Yes the same Isle du Noir where Trow performs with the TBX at the Silhouette ballroom. He tries to be there at least once a month.
Btw, the TBX also performs at the Warehouse Speakeasy every first Thursday of the month.
So often I hear people comment that they are bored.. In SL how can anyone be bored? If you are looking for variety and fun, these two areas .. the Warehouse Speakeasy and Isle Du Noir.. always have something happening. Join their groups, watch for the variety of artists they promote.
The TBX can be heard weekly at Nat’s Jazz Club, Detroit… an established venue in SL, the club has been around for years and brings in the best of the best … Trow is there either Monday or Tuesday depending on the week, (check his schedule, be on the mailing list)… That said, as a member of Nat’s group, you will get to learn and get to know other entertainers who play there.
Yes, I’m encouraging you to get out and have fun, enjoy what SL has to offer. The Trow Boa Experience is unique, he is one of many entertainers that work hard and dedicate themselves to providing you with a fun and enjoyable time. The variety of talent in Sl is endless.
Lifestyles vary – the possibilities are endless. If your interest is in fashion, some of the best designers are in SL, for clothes /furniture/decor/backdrops/- makeup/skins/and lets not forget the making of the avatars themselves. No two people are alike, you can be anything or anyone you want to be in a virtual world. BUT always at the end of the day, you want someplace to show your “look” meet up with friends, develop a social life..
For this you can pick from many many platforms. There are/is so much to pick from, but.. there is always one objective” “end”.. your pleasure, what you enjoy. How you want to spend time… if listening to good music, in a safe friendly atmosphere with members of the community who value friendships… check out the locations in this post.

With the new year, the Trow Boa Experience became more expansive in showcasing the unique sound of Trow Boa performing live instrumental music in Second Life. Trow has been around in SL for many years he has developed his style of playing, his interpretation of songs you’ve known and enjoyed over the years.. in such a way that his shows have become known for their ability to transform standard ballads and classics into fresh sounds that have listeners craving for more.
His shows have become experiences that enable the listener to have his or her own personal musical journey. The melodies can be haunting, a familar love song becomes a joyful connection.. you find yourself a drift in a sea of memories. The music capturing and unlocking moments that have you completely captivated.
Trow has honed his skills and rapport with the instruments he plays over the years, it is important to him that his writing and creativity express his love and passion for the music he shares with you. Your feedback and your participation in his “shows” are an integral part of the Trow Boa Experience.
Why you ask, the reminder of the evolution of the Trow Boa Experience. Mark you calendars… it is an unusual time for Trow’s performances in SL, but it is what it is.
Trow will be performing an hour of his original tunes… on April 6th. at 7 pm slt. at the 18th Anniversary of the MMAC.
We all know Trow’s long history in SL .. promoting and helping out other musicians showcase what they can do, his former club Firehouse 59 helped so many get their feet wet here in SL. Now he is stepping out, doing a whole set of only his music, a first. We have been teased with a couple of originals each time he plays, but this will be all about his sound, his interpretations … his musical creations … his Trow Boa Experience, using all of his own material
If you are interested in knowing about a particular song, you need only ask, he is finally, stepping out into his own light… He has many many originals that he has collaborated with other musicians, or on his own… now instead of a tune here and there, we are going to get a collection .. a variety of some of his favourites … music he would like us to hear… It will be a musical tapestry. An audiophile’s delight. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Somerset/216/216/66
On an other front, are you interest in fine art, do you have a love of the old masters, the philosophy and mindset of the painters and artists whose works are now in the finest museums and art galleries. Did you know that the Isle du Noir has a beautiful museum/gallery ? Would you be interested in perhaps being a part of such a gallery? If yes, or you know someone who has the background and willingness to be of this project, please get in touch with Helena Wells, a notecard would be appreciated letting her know when you would be available for a chat.
A quick shout out to Naria Panthar an influencer who does podcast on various activities in SL. She did one on the free body and head that was announced by Salt and Pepper prior to April 1. It is thanks to her that she brought this wonderful fun experience to her many listeners (I being one)…Salt and Pepper, organized other creators, and they all need to be commended for the fun adventure they provided for us. The cardboard paper avatars were available on April 1. there was a hud with all the creators who shared in this fun event ….. It was a blast and very well done! Kudos to everyone. I can’t list all of the wonderful designers/creators who were part of this April 1. event, but I’m sure you can find them, look for Naria’s video on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/live/iAe5uCVVU7c?si=f_1XFBxkZd6ni3pl
Thanks everyone .. I appreciate you taking time to read all of this.. I will try over the summer to get posts out more often. There is just so much going on all the time.. You need to explore Chinatown on the Isle du Noir. etc. contact, Doctor Avalon.
Till soon.

How about a new outfit for the many summer parties that are happening … our friend Dana Enyo is once more having a fund raiser, this time for victims of Hurricane Beryl. Most of you have seen or know Dana for her tireless dedication to raising funds for cancer and other worthy causes. This one is close to her personally. I will copy you what she wrote me.
[21:29] Dana Enyo: China: Can you help me spread the word on something? Hurricane Beryl barely missed me, but others were not so lucky. I’ve made a dress named BERYL and am selling it for L$129 with all proceeds thru July to the Global Giving Hurricane Beryl Relief Fund. 8 colors for Maitreya Lara; each comes with both PBR and non-PBR versions. It’s on my Website at https://enyoshop.com/index.php/nights-out/ , the video is at https://youtu.be/xt1Szrlev2o and it’s available at my inworld shops and Marketplace (but MP takes 10% off the top). It’s not even a donation; they get a HOT shiny minidress!
We posted the events at the Warehouse Speakeasy and Dj Henri’s schedule last post, but want to remind you that there will be performances all through July and August, please join their group to be kept up to date. Contact Henri or Rob for more detailed information. (Henri McKeenan .. Robby Lock)
Their line up of performers and Dj’s is stellar. incl. DJ Caron Parnall, singer Ichie Kamachi, Brazilian guitar player Joaquin Gustav to name a few. and of course DJ Henri herself..
Trow is scheduled to be at the Warehouse, August 1st. 5 pm slt. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/xFire/208/174/1201
You see her at most of Trow’s shows, designer Dani Harrop, her shop Dani has been growing in leaps and bounds, if you have not been to her shop or seen some of her designs, please have a look. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Calabria/152/246/23

Here are some of the personalities and logos from this post.
Summer is here, and as happens every summer, Trow’s bookings in RL often conflict with usual bookings in SL So, please if you are on our mailing list, you will be advised of when he is playing.. and where, if you need on this list, get back to me and I will happily add you.
This Monday … July 1st. Trow will be at Nat’s Jazz Club in Detroit. start time will be at 5 pm slt. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Detroit%20City/77/201/22
For our regulars you will have noticed by now that Trow is sharing his own original material .. more and more.. he is enjoying the freedom to revisit and showcase a number of tunes he has in his inventory to sculpt and prepare new musical interludes for you. During shows it is not always easy to insert or rearrange what has been prepared for the evening. BUT that said, he does enjoying hearing from you, and knowing what you like and what you would like to hear more of..
Please feel free to drop requests to me either IM or by note card, and Trow will review all incoming requests to play if not at the current set .. he can look at scheduling it during one of his other performances. He very much enjoys input and wants to create magical moments during his sets.. so that attending a Trow Boa Experience, is exactly that.. an “experience”.
Due to his summer schedule, we have had to cancel his July 4th. at the Warehouse Speakeasy. DJ Henri has sent out the schedule for July and August at the Warehouse, it is going to be a summer of fun, the themes and events at the Warehouse are always a MUST ….
