CLICK HERE FOR THE LANDMARK FOR CLUB CTO!!!

Cranston Yordstorm is a performing artist in RL, working theatrical stages from northern California to Cape Cod, Massachusetts over a 20 year career. With an SL singing career that began in late 2009, he brings a Jazzy, Swingey, Bluesey fun time with him wherever he goes. With a varied songlist, there's always a little for everyone. Frank Sinatra,Bobby Darin, Michael Buble, Harry Connick Jr, Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, Ray Charles and Elvis Presley are just the notables among the choices of musical influences.

Come on out for a swinging good time!!!




BigJim Allerhand ain't young and pretty, he's a long way from thin, but he sure can PLAY THE BLUES!!

Jim grew up in a small town in Southeast Kansas, and was influenced by Blues greats such as Lightnin' Hopkins, Jimmy Reed and Son House. Raised in a small Baptist church, he had the opportunity to merge these musical influences with gospel music.

Keeba Tammas has been part of the Second Life community since early 2007 but did not make her stage debut until 2009. A former professional vocalist, she still
enjoys singing and SL allows her the freedom to indulge in her eclectic taste of rock, jazz and ballads, with a smattering of showtunes.  Her relaxed wit and charm come through with each performance, drawing the listeners into the show and her open request format is a real crowd pleaser. Her love of music and performing come over during her gigs, creating a lively and fun atmosphere. Other performers often remark that Keeba is one of their favorites to listen to.

From The Owner's Desk ...

Once in a while, Cranston or Taylee, the owners of The Woods Of Marathon Caye, will write something on their personal blogs which will be of interest to the visitors of The Woods, and if so, it will be reposted here for your perusal.

The following article, written by Cranston this morning, features the inspirations for some of the design of Marathon Caye, as well as the transformation that TWOMC has made from full summer greenery, to the splashes of color radiating during the autumn.  We hope you enjoy it, and that it may, perhaps inspire you to take yet another look at Marathon Caye, if it's been a while since your last visit.  Enjoy!

Super Fun Pirate Party Wednesday Night

Taylee and Cranston would like to thank everyone for coming out for Cranston's Pirate-themed Birthday party.  It was a wonderful turnout, and it was great to see everyone embracing the pirate theme.  Taylee and Cranston has been having fun the past few weeks doing pirate ship RP battles on the collection of sims called Fair Winds, and it was great to see a number of the Fair Winds pirates in attendance.

Cranston and BigJim Allerhand provided the entertainment, as part of the Wednesday night LIVE music events at Club CTO, and deserve special thanks for being flexible with the venue switch on short notice.

All in all, it was a fun night, complete with a post-concert free-for-all sword and pistol battle ... which ... well ... resorted to battles with Giant Pickle guns.

Cranston Yordstorm Birthday Party Pirate Bash!!!

Hello my friends,
Cranston here!

My RL birthday is TODAY, September 28th, and we're having a pirate party to celebrate.  The Club CTO performances tonight will be moved to the party space, A cool pirate ship we've erected on the Woods Of Marathon Caye grounds.  The party will have a pirate theme, and we'd love as many people to participate in the theme as would like to.

To that end, if you wanted to come, and felt like donning some pirate garb, here is an LM to a place on a sim called Fair Winds, that is basically your one stop shop for pirate gear.

CLICK HERE FOR GK Designs (Pirate Gear LM)

You do not HAVE to come in GK designs pirate gear, and you do not have to come in pirate gear AT ALL.  This is merely a suggestion for ideas for you.  We would love to have you come no matter what.

The artist schedule is the same as any other weekly Club CTO schedule, I'll be singing at 5PM SLT, and BigJim Allerhand at 6PM SLT. Here's the LM for the location

So come on over tonight!!!  We'z a Birthday to celebrate!!!

Excellent evening of LIVE music at Club CTO, in The Woods Of Marathon Caye

 Cranston and Taylee would like to thank everyone who came out for a fantastic evening of great music on the Marathon Caye sim.  Great to see some old friends, make some new ones and enjoy the fellowship.  Special thanks to Storm Front Jazz for helping out to make for a truly wonderful LIVE experience.

Cranston Yordstorm started things of at 6PM SLT.  He decided to do a guitar-based accompaniment set (though he does NOT play guitar in RL.)  Some great Neil Diamond, Eric Clapton, Elvis Presley and the like.

 

Cranston rockin it out to a Brian Setzer tune.  Jazzy Swingey Bluesey Goodness, as usual.

Keeba Tammas joined us at 7PM SLT.  Brought an energetic performance.  She has been missed for the near month that she was not performing here.

A special evening with good friends and special talent.  Special thanks to all who made it possible.  Come back next week for the return of BigJim Allerhand to CLUB CTO!!!  Keeba is back in two weeks!!!
