Happy Birthday ShadowMusic
Posted: 08 Sep 2013, 09:38This version of ShadowMusic is 4 years old today so I would like to wish all members a very happy birthday.
My thanks go to David Martin, Dave Robinson, Iain Purdon and the various club moderators for looking after the site over the past year. It hasn't always been easy and moderators often find themselves in a no-win situation, but I am very happy with their efforts and hope that they continue as they have been over the next several years (if they can handle the strain).
My thanks also go to all the members, of course, without whom there would be no ShadowMusic. We now have 2663 members and this number is growing all the time. Nine members have now posted over 1000 messages and the record holders deserve special mention: Ecca wins a used red plectrum for having the most posts at 2802 with Jim Nugent runner up at 2487. Dave Robinson is in third place with 2429.
It is incredibly impressive that a band who enjoyed their first hit over 50 years ago have maintained such a devoted following with active discussions, events and clubs operating all over the world. This is a fantastic testament to the music they started all those years ago. My ultimate thanks must, therefore, go to all the members of The Shadows who, I doubt, would have believed the affection and following they still have today had they been foretold the future during their early days.
Thanks again to everyone whether you post regularly, occasionally or just browse occasionally to keep up to date.
All the best,
Bob.
