   What an incredible version it is!  I was skeptical at the first (because I really like how the original starts) and then the guitar player was being a technician, but once the other two players got him going it was momentous.  The stations still play this song regularly in Seattle.

The three lead guitars all going at the same time, and each player doing different things on their guitar, and then the front man Kelly Hansen's super long sustained note. When I was in a band back in the early 1980s, I could do with my voice what he did with his, sustaining a note for a super long time. I can still do that now, but not as long as I did way back then.
I have been the front man in two of the three bands I was a member of. The one in which I was not the front man was a sibling band. We called ourselves Major Goins On. My oldest brother, youngest sister and I were doing country music at a place called the Music Barn here in Georgia. We were doing our own songs, not covers. We had a following of fans. The host at the Music Barn said we had awesome sibling harmony. To me, that's the best kind of harmony. I had a Silver-Tone Acoustic Electric Guitar with F holes (like the ones in violins and cellos). It had three Humbucker pickups, six control knobs, and a string stretcher whammy bar. I played it some, but my brother could play way better than me, so he played that guitar the most. That guitar was a really great sounding guitar. I was no Juke Box Hero, but I had the dream, and pursued it as much as I could. My brother is now the music minister at the church he attends. All of us are song writers, though we have not published our songs. I am working on getting our stuff copyrighted, then we will record and work on getting published. Hopefully.

Just able to get back to a computer and its also a brand new one at that so not had much chance to render anything but we are starting a D&D game this weekend and I wanted a render of my character.
She's a sorcerer so I think the magic effects in her hand might count for this, I hope so as I really just want to show her off a bit lol.
Please let me introduce Lilac Wildberry, a human wildmagic sorcerer of unknown origins

Yes the magic effects count. Well done DreamWeaver.

Here goes me and my horrible search engine skills, but I cannot figure out how to word my search! I'm looking for better skin and makeup textures for Star. I would like to find free ones, because my monthly SSI is spent out already.
I got a new outfit for Star at DAZ today for free, called 'Low Cut Dress for Star!' It is among the latest DAZ Weekly Freebies (which are now like fortnightly freebies, LOL). I'd like to have better skin and makeup textures for her; and if possible some free character morphs for her, if any exist.
Anybody here know where I should look?

Wasn't there a 3D wiki around somewhere that had that kind of stuff?  Is it Star for Genesis or the plain Star?  Not sure the plain Star HAS any morphs???

Found this... https://3d-stuff.community/tag/star/
still looking....

Don't know about skin for Star, but I do know that outfits for Star also work on Star 2 (which is for Genesis 3 Female).  I tried it with the Sweet Delight for Star on my site.  DS even fit the free boots that match the outfit (both by Sanbie).  I don't know if the actual figure has the same UVs, though, so the skins may or may not work.
