Dennis I'm just now seeing this. Is this (SL) different from a web cast or podcast, is it in theory 'live'? We [Daryl] and I were at one point in that we are remote more than live in person thus far, were looking for something like what this sounds like for Chinapainting performances and have since settled for doing a monthly podcast (http://chinapainting.podomatic.com) series.. It sounds a bit like one of my son's Habo Hotel things but audio only? Anyhow sounds like it might be an option when the actual live market can be lean. Thanks for clueing me in...
