Not exactly singing the praises of Facebook

I never thought I’d be singing the praises of Facebook (FB). In fact I still don’t think I’ll be singing their praises exactly, but I will say this about FB: without it I doubt that I’d have been back in touch with my friend Paul H. Addie. We used to play in bands together in London back in the eighties. Then I met Genie (at a gig where Paul and I were playing) and went to live in Holland – for good, I thought at the time. Paul also moved on, and remember this was before the wibbly-wobbly world of web and electronic mail.

It was through FB that Paul H Addie and I got back in touch. I’ve also found other friends (or they’ve found me) through FB, but the reason I mention Paul is that he’s still making music and we could actually work together without the inconvenience of having to travel the length of the island to meet up (although it would be nice, of course, to meet up again).

Anyway, I made this video for Paul’s band Tracing Arcs and I hope you like it.
