KNOCK HIM OFF |
| Doctor C (08/08/08 06:13:42) Tag: Crusin' Rock N' Road |
|
Hi all! Looks like our quartet is finally in full swing now. We just uploaded our most recent instrumental composition Knock Him Off. Rob Grant came up with this excellent groove and asked us if we could get wild for this one. Well, this is not a type of request we leave unheeded, so we did get reasonably wild. The track features fantastic harp by Farrell and, of course, Gary's world class guitar. Thank you Rob, Farrell and Gary for making this and a lot of other magic moments happen time and time again. Love you, guys, and treasure your friendship. Doctor C |

I KNOW TROUBLE.........Whew!! Don't we all?!?!??!?! I wanted to "Blog" about this one, because it's special to me. This is the first Carciello, Grant, Doctor C, Farrell song I have done since I had my brain surgery. I'll just say.....a lot has happened over the last 5 - 6 months and I'm glad we are working together as 4 again.......and hope to be putting out music on a regular basis....... Rob |

New song |
| Doctor C (06/15/08 14:31:49) Tag: Crusin' Rock N' Road |
|
Hello everybody! We just finished our new song "Break, Break, Break". The lyrics are by the famous English poet Lord Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892). I think classical poetry and classic rock go very well together. Special thanks to Farrell and Gary for their outstanding musicianship and reliability. Enjoy! Doctor C |

We've got a new one called My 55 Cheverolet! It's been awhile but it's a fun one! |
| Farrell Jackson (06/09/08 20:58:01) Tag: Crusin' Rock N' Road |
|
This is a song I wrote about the feelings I get when I cruise in my 55 Chevrolet (song picture ). It's an old style rock n' roll shuffle but updated with some different chord changes and instrumentation. With Gary's excellent guitar work and DrC's great keyboard playing and production skills, it cruises down some roads less traveled for an old rock n' roll song. As always it was a pleasure working with these guys and I had a blast belting out the vocals to this song. We sincerely hoped our good friend and collab mate, Rob Grant, would add his precise, melodic bass playing and his ever insightful production ideas but given the current circumstances, Rob chose to sit this one out. We missed him on this song but when he gets back, watch out! This is a bit different style compared to our other collab songs but we hope you enjoy it just the the same. Thanks from all of us!

Comments on the track Rob Grant Is Back!!! |
| Doctor C (05/06/08 17:28:18) Tag: default |

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. DrC |

Uh?...I think we're ALL Winners here...NO, BS at all.... |

I personally took Doc's thoughts as his personal feelings, from a totally musical standpoint.......and not meant to be as in a contest context. I have to say, as I listened to them all, I too was hearing so many expressed feelings......I found......EACH song hit me in a different way.....AND!!! I LOVED EACH and EVERY SONG for different reasons. The genre styles blew me away and I felt I was listeneing to an album from the world and it IS!!! I can say no less, than that I am still OVERWHELMED at the support and love shared.....SO !!!! THAT makes us all winneres and fortunate to be a part of such a GREAT Musical family. I see no lines,to be read, anywhere in between. This whole event is unique and there's no black or white ways to respond or express your feelings. I only wish, I were on the giving side of this.......the receiving side is simply.......STUNNING !!! I have a spot in my heart for ALL of you, here at IMS. PLEASE!!! Each of us should take the outpour of expression in no other way than face value......WHICH !!..... to me is an overwhelming display of humans joing together and expressing support of a common goal.......GET WELL.......each of us....GET WELL !!! Thanks you ALL......SO MUCH !!! What an AWESOME group of people we have here. PEACE !!!! Rob |

Top 5 Songs for Rob??? |
| Doctor C (03/28/08 21:49:50) Tag: default |

I understand that the idea behind recording songs for Rob was to express our love and support. It was never intended to be a contest. However, having listened to all 40+ songs I have to adnit that I couldn't help it and created my own Top 5 chart. In my humble opinion the winners are: 1. Farrell Jackson - Restless Mind 2. Rapster - Blues for Rob 3. IJenNeh - Leaning 4. Chrickon - Energy - for Rob 5. Soundtrapper - My Guitar Plays for Rob I wonder how y'all's charts look like... DrC |

This is the latest song by Rob Grant. We were still working on it when we got a message from Rob's daughter about his health problems. Right now, as I write this note, he's in surgery. He's a good man and a good friend. He needs our prayers and support now. Please keep him and his loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. Rob, my friend, get well! We need you! |

A TRUE FRIENSHIP IS BORN THRU THE NET |
| Rob Grant (02/14/08 04:35:59) Tag: Rob's Blogs :-) |
|
I was overwhelmed by an e-mail I received last night. It was from Doctor C. He attached a song file and a note that touched me DEEPLY. I ONLY hope, he doesn't mind my bringing attention to this. Over the past few months, I have been getting to know Doctor C and Gary Carciello, thru our internet relationship. It has amazed me, how many personal things developed between us, as time went by. I've seen it written that NET FRIENDS are NOT POSSIBLE. I never felt that way. I have always been myself and feel, those I have gotten to know, do the same. Anyway, like everybody, I have problems in life......less to some and more to others. Regardless, I have to deal with my own life. Doctor C and Gary have always been supportive of my mood changes and anxiuosness. My wife and been facing many of life's challenges. BUT!! Thru it all, I have found Doc C and Gary to keep things positive.....and IMS has become a VERY nice relief for me. Doctor C wrote this song and he and Gary performed it. I listened and was brought to tears. I want to share this BEAUTIFUL Song, that they have done......and show the skeptics, THAT....The INTERNET TRUELY CAN CREATE GREAT FRIENDSHIPS :) THANK YOU, DOC and GARY! PLEASE, don't be upset, with my sharing this. As for my wife and I.....life goes on and we will deal, with the help from GREAT FRIENDS. Rob

Group Participation in writing our material |
| Rob Grant (12/31/07 11:38:07) Tag: Rob's Blogs :-) |
|
I really want to clarify, the HUGE part that both Doctor C and Gary have in writing our material. I believe, I am credited as the "composer" of our songs, but without their input.......the songs would not be the same. Being the bass player and drum arranger is a natural combination. I can create the riffs used and send them a file of.....uh???....what sounds to me, like.....not much. The feel and sound that Doc creates with his orchestrations and chord usage, are all his perceptions of what I send him. What I hear when I get his samples back, is usually far from my thoughts, thus he has helped write the song. What Gary then adds, is usually even further away from my thoughts. I have to say this, because I feel we ALL write the songs....and I am not a sole composer. Because of the nice reviews we've received, I feel I owe Doc and Gary......a whole lot of credit. They have brightened my musical life immensily. THANK YOU ALL, SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT!!! Doctor C - Keyboards, orchestration, engineering, song arranging, mix, editing and keeps me in check and somewhat calm Gary - Lead guitars, song arranging and keeps me sparked up Rob - Bass, drum arranging, initial compositions, vocals, and occaisional other stuff, and begging these guys to keep working with me :D Rob

Carciello, Grant, and Doctor C.......In my eyes |
| Rob Grant (12/29/07 11:11:31) Tag: Rob's Blogs :-) |
|
The creation of computers and the Internet, has been wild, from the start. Many of us......in "the day" would have died for an opportunity, to write and record songs from their own homes. Instead, we paid a fortune to a recording studio and walked out with a cassette and the feeling of.....what the hell did I just do?!?!?! Ok, so I heard this guy....Gary Carciello, at Soundclick. I immediately reviewed his song and awaited a reply. It never came. I thought....hmmmm???...Oh well, I guess it didn't mean much to him. I saw him again at MIXPOSURE, listened to more music and reviewed again.....THIS TIME, I got a response of Thanks, that I couldn't believe. He was VERY Thankful and humble. I contacted him again...and again...and...BAM!! We became "Net buds". We talked of doing music together, but hadn't started yet. Ok, then I posted a version of "LEGACY", at MIX, requesting a collab with a keyboard player. I got a response over night, from this guy, Doctor C. I went to his page, listened...and was blown away. I couldn't believe this guy wanted to work with me. Now, I had two unbelievable musicians to play with. We took on "Legacy" and had lots of fun with it. I kept sending these guys songs to do and they kept doing them....and that's how we got together. I'm trying to get these guys to sign exclusive contracts, but they won't do it.....hahahahahahahaha! I LOVE 'EM BOTH!!! But Hey!! We needed a vocalist..........and thus we asked our Friends to join in. I loved Nigel Potter, like a net bro, so he was asked....right away....he replied and accepted. We then went to Richard Bethell of Soundclick (Admiral Bob) to join us.....then my FAVORITE Lady vocalist Inge - Serious Music. We have others in progress and I hope many more to come. LIFE IS GOOD at IMS!!! I want to THANK Gary and Doctor C...SO MUCH for their participation in this project. Their input is UNBELIEVABLE, without it, the songs would have never been the same. They take a basic song idea I send and mold it into a piece of music, that blows me away. Their CREATIVITY is what makes OUR songs. Rob
