Michelle Cross

Biography

Michelle Cross is obsessed with her music. "I [play and write music] all the time. When I don't have a job I'm playing 14 hours a day. When I do have a job I play 4 or 5 hours a day. I have to do it everyday… as much as I can squeeze in." She describes her songs as therapeutic and very personal. "It's like my journal" although she admits she likes to "steal shoes" a lot.

Sprinkled with classical influences and firmly supported by strong vocals, Cross's songs tend to have a darker moodier feel to them. At times, there is a lot of aggression and rhythm in her piano playing, yet even at its most gentle moments her powerfully emotional and melodic piano-based songs have caused listeners to sit-up and pay attention."

The Boards 
Well, it looks like in the last day or two something happened to the boards. I was stumbling through my normal routine of checking links worth looking at and BAM. I came up against something I wasn't expecting.

When the link to the boards loaded it told me I was banned. Me, the only administrator of the board... banned! I tried all of the links and none of them worked.

So, I checked the website of the boards' authors. Nothing mentioning any bug or issue. At least that I saw. I'm going to assume it was a security issue and some troll came in and screwed everything up for us. And, because of this, I've deleted the boards entirely.

I can work on setting up a new board system and, most likely, I will as soon as I'm able to. However, all of the old posts, usernames, everything... will be gone. We'll be starting from scratch.

Can you handle that? I hope you can. It may take me a while to get everything setup again but I'll try my best.

Have a great weekend. I apologize to those who use the boards. :(
