Hey RIMC'ers

 
We can't tell you how proud we are as a family of our relative Alexis on her Southern New England's American Idol win.  She now has a page at RIMC, check into the details below.
 
Don't forget about membership everyone.
 
I put a new blog on the website as you all know by now.  I am discussing American Idol and the hopeful new season to come!.  NEW BLOG
 
We thank you ALL for your support of Alexis and RIMC and all we do. 
ALEXIS- American Idol Material!
 

Do I honestly have to tell you how proud we are of her?  We are also glad to have my cousin Alexis Brown as a new RIMC 'member' instead of just a performer.  She finally got around to it!  There couldn't be a better time!  I am sure I speak for all of you when I tell her we RIMC'ers wish her all the best!  That's what RIMC is all about!  Showing the world how talented RI is!

I will update her new page at RIMC with up to the minute details on her American Idol experience!   

  VIEW HER PAGE NOW, and enjoy! 

 
 
Terri Penha Interview!
 
 My goodness, it must be 'family' day at RIMC!  Switching to my "Santos" side of the family, my cousin Terri Penha is our featured Interview Artist! 
 
When I was singing with JustUzII- The Osbornes, Norman "Chucky" Gray decided to leave the group to pursue other avenues and since there was NOBODY that could take his place, I decided to go in a different direction with the group.  I decided to ask my Niece Myssi Santos to join the group and she and I turned JustUzII into a new direction with all this funky 'girl group' material.  I was really able to get my Chaka fix in then!  After almost 2 years, Myssi decided to move to Canada and get married.  I was so happy for her but I was devastated.  There was NO way, I would ever be able to pull something like that unit off again.
 
Quietly in the background, something was brewing.  Because Missy was planning on moving and starting a life in Canada and planning a wedding, she was visiting there often and we had a VERY busy gig schedule so she needed a 'fill-in' for the times she was gone for the weekend. 
 
She attended our gigs and listened.  She was studying and NO one studies better than a teacher.  They are so different, even though related, but my little cousin Terri stepped up to the plate and began filling in for Myssi.  It's an understatement in the least to say, she surprised us all.  And for going through a rough spot in her life at the time, she poured it out in her voice and just got better and better.
 
Terri is the female lead vocalist for Front & Center right now and talk about a sweetheart?  I love you Terri, in case I've never said it, THANK YOU!
 
Check out what she has to say: INTERVIEW
 
 
SOUL POWER !
 
We featured them last week in the update but now you get to hear Soul Power featuring David Cherry in the RIMC Lounge!  Enjoy~
 
Have a safe and fun weekend until we meet again next week. 
 
Musically Yours,
