<p>In our never ending quest to make iMS the best music site out there we have asked Nigel Potter to join the Moderator Team! I think most everyone knows Nigel and what kind of person he is. This is a wonderful addition to the iMS Team and I could not be happier that he has joined the team.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Bug fixes are coming in slowly. You have probably seen a few corrections already. Getting close to sorting them all out!</p>
<p>Some of you are going to notice that Rapster's Corner is no longer on the front page. After seeing some discussions go south a bit, Rapster and I agreed it was better suited having these discussions in the forum. I am open for all sorts of discussions and I love reading the different viewpoints. We all need to stay professional in our replies! Since the front page is the first thing new members or potential new members see, I did not want to see any negtivity flying around. Thanks Joe for taking the high road on this. It is appreciated.</p>

This is a great way to get some feedback on lyrics before you finish
the song and hear all the lyric/arrangement suggestions after the fact!!</p>

I’d like to thank everybody who reviewed “Rob Grant Is Back!!!” I appreciate your kind words, gentlemen. However, I would also like to clear any possible misconceptions and publicly admit that I can’t play with that speed and superhuman precision. It’s all modern technology pros and cons of which we discussed recently. Even though I didn’t use any samples and played the Czardas myself, I can’t in good faith accept the praise for my musicianship because the track was heavily edited. I can, however, accept the praise of my editing skills. LOL! So there it is – I’m a cheater. But I’m not that bad and I still love making music! LOL. I hope you guys won’t lose respect for my modest musical ventures after this confession.

Just wanted to say thanks to Carol Douglas for posting her lyrics for everyone. I had fun writing some music for it.
Kent (venuestudio) did a great job on the mix of this song as well so thank you very much!

Im just an avid music listener. Cant play my way out of a paper bag....
Well, Ive uploaded a new song Meedee Man, Man. I've been experimenting and learning to make music with my MIDI and Synths. Its been a long slow learning process to do the little I have done. This song is the first time I have tried to combine vocals with the computer music. It's a good hearted tease of my very talented friend Jeff B/Road Apples who did a series of brilliant songs based on old horror movies. Its all meant to be tongue in cheek fun!
Good to see my great friend Mike K is going to be doing his show here. He is a great friend to Indie Artists plus a wonderful musician and a good guy. If you have not heard his show, I strongly recommend it!
<p>I just wanted to send a few updates to everyone. First of all I need to apologize for some of the bugs on the site. There was a recent code change that I wanted to get implemented with some new features and some performance tweaks. When I implemented these, it caused some bugs in other areas. These should be resolved in the next couple of days. <br /> <br />On Saturday May 10th we will have an interview with <a href="/mark_cloutier/">Mark Cloutier</a>.
