And i would love for them to be there in Rl as well


Lioranne : what kind of music and songs you play?


Noma Falta: I do a mixture of Classic rock songs and Blues.I have been singing rock ,Soul and R&B for a long time


Lioranne : did you have a singer you looked up??


Noma Falta: someone I looked up to?



Lioranne : yes


Noma Falta: ok yes that started very young. At 12 I wanted to sing like Julie Andrews and then when i was older i listened to Joni Mitchell and lots of Soul singers like Aretha Franklin, supremes, Mary wells, and Chaka Kahn. LindaRonstadt was one i admired



Lioranne :All great singers



Lioranne : yes , great!!!



Lioranne: Noma, how SL has changed your real life?



Noma Falta: OH wow! Well, I have made lots of Real friends here in SL....
and I am getting more RL offers in places I have not thought of like overseas


Lioranne : can i make some photos ?


Noma Falta: yes you may


Lioranne : grazie



Lioranne : and about your job, something is changed with SL ?



Noma Falta: not as much i still play Real world gigs



Lioranne : when you were a child did you like sing?



Noma Falta: yes i did, but, I was playing violin in a symphony at the age of 7 and i played until 21 years old



Lioranne : it's a beautiful thing, i love it




Noma Falta: i love music



Lioranne: ohh me too, I understand well...



Noma Falta: i started playing piano at 4 but didnt stick with it and learned to read music then



Lioranne : at 4??



Noma Falta: yes, i was very young when i started :)



Lioranne : Noma do you spend much time in SL??



Noma Falta: A LOT! I play a lot of music in here and i love it and i like to go around and hear other acts as well and visit with friends!



Lioranne Flanagan: and how do you make to hold rl and SL separated ?



Noma Falta: that is tough but i think i can keep the two separated...to me playing music is the same no matter where i am playing :)



Lioranne :sure! What do you think about people that say SL is a place where you can find what you have not in rl?



Noma Falta: WEll i think they are right in some ways...People are more open to experiencing their "social" world in a much more open way I think..that of itself open more opportunities to see a different way of thinking



Lioranne : it's right



Noma Falta: But i dont think you can be totally someone else



Lioranne: no, i think the same as you



Lioranne: and about love inSL? Relations, feelings, are they real?



Noma Falta: yes they are .. i really dont think it is easy to separate your real feelings away from yourself, that would be very difficult to do



Lioranne so do you think that's possible falling in love for an avatar..lol?



Noma Falta: Haha wow! i guess maybe falling in love with the person behind the avatar is possible?lets face it 99.99%of the avatars are HOT :)



Lioranne : ehhhe, all the avatars are so beauty!!!!



Noma Falta: they are!



Lioranne : Noma have you never met some SL friends in rl?



Noma Falta: No i haven't, anyway i think it would be nice!Well i take that back I met a friends partner and he is my SL friend



Lioranne : which are your next programs as a singer?



Noma Falta: my plans right now are to keep playing . I just dont know what wil happen I hope good things.I have a lot coming up and some other project (musical ) that may happen in the future..I have benefits I play for good causes and some open mics
