SaraMarie Philly at Swank Festive Joy Ball Concert - December 21, 2018

On Friday night SaraMarie Philly performed at Swank Events Festive Joy Ball Concert. 

I could not believe the amazing talent that came to Earth that evening. 

An Angel graced us with her wonderful voice and spirit. 

Personally, Second Life brings a special joy into my life around the Christmas Season. 

 It’s all about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ with our friends and family. 

And, there is no better way to experience that joy than to hear SaraMarie perform. 

She sang and appeared as an angel. Her incredible voice put me into the Holiday mood!

It was such an amazing show. SaraMarie captured the essence of the holiday spirit 

on stage with her magic, mystical piano - graced by the splendor of 

Christmas lights and the wonderful magic of falling snowflakes. 

Simply put, the SWANK stage set was spectacular.  

It was everything you'd want it to be and then some. 

SaraMarie's performance was both visually and sonically appealing. 

Her voice resonated beautifully and clearly throughout the entire venue. 

SaraMarie truly has an amazing voice. I found that she projected her voice in 

all registers while maintaining vocal agility and clarity throughout each octave. 

She handled her lower, mid-range and high notes with ease. 

Aside from her absolutely wonderful performance, if I could pick out one of 

my favorite moments of the evening, I would say it was when SaraMarie had a 

special moment with her daughter while engaging her audience at the same time. 

I was particularly touched when her 10 year old daughter came into the 

room (where SaraMarie was broadcasting) and briefly interrupted her Mom 

with her hands apparently covered in paint. It was so heartfelt and 

cute hearing SaraMarie helping her daughter with such loving care. 

It was a treasured moment - One which made a special connection with her audience.

She later explained that she was performing to invest in her little girl’s college fund.  

I 'm sure it touched the hearts of every parent in the audience. 

During SaraMarie's performance, I had a rather unique, fun & delightful 

exchange with her friend Derek Galaxy.

Derek was dressed for the Christmas Ball with his avi wearing the head of a reindeer. 

    Our conversation went something like this:

    Becky: Hi Derek, I think the Christmas ornaments on your antlers are very appropriate
    Derek: :P ty 
    Derek: I fell into a Christmas tree and just decided to keep it this way XD
    Becky: Well, it was a lucky fall.
    Becky: https://www.flickr.com/photos/beckykenaan/
    Becky: I even captured you shiny nose, Rudolf
    Derek: Oh cool, thank you :D
    Derek: Great photos!
    Becky: I hate to tell you that you still cannot fly regardless of all  those lessons.
         It aint gonna happen.
    Derek: Flying is overrated anyway... lol
    Derek: Don't tell anyone but Santa just uses amazon prime now.
    Becky: Well look what happened to you..
         That was no accident falling into that tree. Pfft!
    Becky: Bad take off
    Derek: I’m not sure how it happened. The details are fuzzy, it was a holiday party. haha
    Becky: Yeah, yeah, yeah… it was Sana's fault anyway putting you on point
    Derek: hahaha

   

    Becky: It was the alcohol that turned that nose red wasn't it?  Come on, fess up!
    Derek: I plead the 5th LOL
    Becky: I was told that you were the first reindeer ever to have a breathalyzer test.
              Just sayin'
    Derek: Those elves gossip way too much..
    Becky: Actually, it was Blitzen who confessed in a Plea deal with the DA.
              Remember he was right behind you inhaling the fumes.
    Becky: He kept screaming to Santa, "DON'T LIGHT YOUR PIPE!!!!
                FREAKIN" DON’T LIGHT YOUR PIPE!!!"
    Derek: Facepalms
    Derek: Of course, it was him
    Becky: I wondered why the fur on his little ears were singed,
    Becky: I was told by Mrs. Claus that the only other perilous time Santa had with
                you was when you changed your diet from Barley to Hay.
    Becky: Since then he installed a windshield on his sleigh I was told
    Derek: Ok, who is leaking all this confidential north pole data? lol
    Becky: (zip lips)
    Derek: Squints at you suspiciously.
    Becky: I have a non-disclosure agreement with the Man himself.
    Becky: Now I understand why the other reindeer despise you
                and never let you play in any reindeer games.
    Becky: They have to call out the HAZMAT GUYS every Christmas
                (I would be annoyed also)
    Derek: Pfft.... That was only a couple times but they keep re-sharing that story.
    Becky: Well, it is no wonder why Santa puts you way out front
                as far away from him as possible). That song about you is a cover
    Becky Kénaan: You are fun! Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
    Derek: And to you too! Thanks for coming to the show! :)
    Becky: (Just stay downwind from me, okay?)
    Derek: lol
    Becky: lol
