I used to eschew Facebook. I have had a page there for a long while, but I always avoided it like the plague. I can't really explain why, but it's probably because I've never been a super social animal. But since getting into the whole Radio gig, I've been on it more than I'd ever imagined.
Just today I found a friend that I haven't talked to in 20 years. It's not that there was a falling out or anything dramatic ... it's just that we never reconnected after college. It turns out that since leaving the then Colorado Institute of Art (now called the Art Institute of Denver) Bennii has been really tearing it up. He was a great drummer then, but has since recorded with all kinds of artists all over the South Pacific of all places.
I feel like my persistence may have been weak. Though I did try. But then Bennii is an amazing musician. I'm simply not. I do play a little bass, guitar, piano and sax ... but nothing at the level that Bennii Obaña was at then.
I am happy to have reconnected with him. He's living in the Philippines and has a baby on the was with his new wife. Good for you Bennii ... good for you.
I am on Facebook much more often now, but I'm still not a social animal.
