Background:
In 2006 a young man wrote a letter to his favourite band, explaining how, after seeing them play in the Royal Albert Hall in London, they saved his life during a difficult patch.
In his letter he happened to mention that he had some songs on Myspace and included the link to his site.
That band was Cheap Trick and during an interview with Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan Rick Neilsen said that he had been listening to these great songs by this guy from Australia, and mentioned the Myspace site.
That young man was, and still is, Rick Ralli, and you can imagine his surprise when he checked his Myspace to find hundreds of friend requests and song plays, as well as comments and messages, mostly from the U.S.
Over the next year those hundreds grew into thousands (338572 Profile Views, 823,714 Total Plays as at 08/05/09).
