About a year ago, I got an invite from the person who books the Mpls Stonearch Festival to join Facebook (this was shortly after they opened it up to non college students). Lynn and I had been using Myspace as our band website for some time, but for facebook I joined as 'Bob Dixon'; so far I've tried most of the 'music' networking tools on Facebook, but none seem to be as effective for a local 'old-time' band as Myspace. I started to gain Facebook friends, once some of my younger relatives and younger friends from Danebook found out (to their surprise) I was on facebook. I have also become friends with Musicians and Politicians who aren't necessarily close personal friends. So far I have '36' friends in roughly the following groups (there are some overlaps - I have relatives and Danebod friends who are musicians, for example):
Relatives:
Nieces and Nephews; but not all of them (Lynn is threatening to join, so I'd be her friend).
Danebod Folk Camp Friends:
Mostly 20 somethings, but just became friends from someone closer to my age ( a forty something).
Musicians:
some through my original Stonearch connection, others are more 'national' and even international.
Random Friends:
People I know who have discovered me or vice versa.
Politions:
Al Franken and R.T Rybak (Mayor of Minneapolis) are on Facebook , so I figured why not?
