This is my first Pipeline post: International roll-out. by WWMM Michael on The Pipeline at IndieMusicPeople

This is my first Pipeline post: International roll-out.
The MonaLisa Twins will have big news this weekend, but so do I. We think theirs is the announcement of their 2nd album of original music, the first since their 2012 debut album.

Mine is the international rollout of my station "Groovy and 60's Style which now has a #3 station ranking here at IMP. The roll-out began this week with my post in Intergalactic, the MonaLisa Twins Facebook fan club. I will soon be leaving there to spend my online time here. Today I roll it out to IMP. This will all be done in stages, mostly via e-mail by me to friends, family, co-workers, etc. Below is the e-mail I composed and our fearless leader Scott helped me to tweak and perfect it. David Nyro has even tweeted some "shout-outs" to my station when I first added his songs. Please read my e-mail and feel free to send it to your friends as well. My goal is to promote IMP and all of you incredible artists and your music. Thank you all so very much for the joy you have brought into my young 66 year old life! Mike

Greetings friends and fellow music lovers; Mike here! This is what I have been promising you!

I wish to share with you today the most incredible music site that I have ever found on the Internet. It is called indiemusicpeople.com or IMP for short. It is a site where you can build your own awesome Internet radio station for no charge for your first station.

http://indiemusicpeople.com/

I discovered it in January 2017 when Scott, the co-founder and CEO (and now good Facebook friend), introduced it to a fan club of a band I follow. I found I could not only promote that band through IMP, but also discover hundreds of amazingly talented artists as well. This site was built primarily for independent or indie artists; those that do not have a record label deal. There are over 20,000 artists there from every musical genre you can imagine. The artists and their songs are the finest in the world; rivaling and even exceeding the talent of main stream superstars.

Currently there are over 4,400 stations at IMP. I have worked diligently over the past 6 months to build my station to a total of 103 songs from almost 40 artists spanning the Americas and Europe. I have written blurbs for every song and have received a lot of cool feedback from many of my artists. That is optional and you can build an astounding catalog of music as rapidly as you wish. Or you can simply explore the site and listen to existing stations. There is assistance available at IMP to help you each step of the way and answer any of your questions.

I am pleased to now introduce to you my station entitled “GROOVY AND 60’S STYLE” as part of my international roll-out. By identifying some of the best artists at IMP, my station is now ranked #3 world-wide. When I first began to build my station, I had no idea that stations were ranked. My main motivation in sending this to you is to promote my artists and to encourage you to enter IMP and build your own customized song lists to enjoy. As you will discover, the MonaLisa Twins are one of my featured artists. I received personal permission from their step-mum and manager, Michaela, to use their photo!

Please now listen to my station and hear for yourself the very power of IMP!

I would love to hear your feedback or answer any questions. Best regards and groovy listening to you, my friend!

(P.S. If you love this, please forward to every music lover you know. I only ask that you remove all the e-mail addresses of folks this has already been sent to. Thank you!)

Mike from Omaha, NE

Mike, will you post this on your Facebook wall too?
(Though maybe just remove the sentence "I only ask that you remove all the e-mail addresses of folks this has already been sent to.", since there are no e-mail addresses on Facebook... and, possibly, change "my friend" to "my friends" in the paragraph just before that, since you would be addressing all your Facebook friends)

If you post it there, I promise I will share it. I hope others will too. :)

Michael this is an important effort on your part and we will support you in every way we can, I'm going to share your post on both mine and the IMP facebook page.

This is the best possible thing anyone can do for this site outside a donation which I'd add you also did. Bring in people from outside the site to hear what we got going on here. Remember, artists, if you bring a listener here to hear one song, they might be around when you release your next song.

Thanks so much Scott and Itso, for commenting on my very first IMP post; very encouraging! It won't be the last that I originate. Ha, I did a second one just minutes after this one! I am happy to say that I consider you two to be my friends and not just my "Facebook friends."

Scott, I did not even realize that IMP has a Facebook page. I will check that out before I depart FB in about 3 weeks. I am now on a goodbye goodwill tour there.

Man, what a week this has been! My international roll-out corresponding with MLT's release of ORANGE. I was thrilled to wake up today to a lovely personal e-mail from Michaela thanking me for my enthusiasm and support of the pre-sale that she saw at IFC. I ordered about 8 past midnight Liverpool time, so I was amongst the first to order, maybe even Top 5 or Top 3; lol!

Scott, after the dust settles, and I have said goodbye to FB, completed the roll-out via e-mails, got my weedy lawn in better shape after the hot summer, dropped some pounds and improved my health and glucose and energy levels, seen Whitherward here in Omaha on Sept 28, and am into Cornhusker football aka "hand-egg" for several games, then I can focus on the next project better.

This will probably be in October. As we have visited before, I want to build new IMP stations. I am thinking of building 25 song stations, with themes and all beginning with the word "Groovy" as kind of my trademark. I have in mind "Groovy Love Songs" and then "Groovy Ambience" I can rove about IMP to do searches and also do Pipeline posts to petition the artists for their best in these areas.

Well, all for now; have a great day; Groovy Guys! (smiley emoji)

Thanks Scott! I liked the IMP Facebook page and will continue to like it until I unlike the entirety of Facebook. That should be a couple weeks after Ashley and Edward aka Whitherward gig here in Omaha.

After that I will follow all my fave bands on their websites, YouTube channels, Instagram, a few via e-mail exchanges, and here at IMP, of course!

This should take place in mid-October and that way I can say I was on Facebook for a full year and did everything I needed to do there. I can then fully commence building a station empire here at IMP, and get back, get back, get back to where I once belonged and play beautiful music on my piano for my wife! (heart emoji)

Been following and in contact with these musettes since their inception back in the gig days with mom and pop! Always thought like they could be reincarnates of George and John ...if one believed in that sort of thing, wink wink! 5 Stars*****
