I’m slow to adopt new technologies. I didn’t even get a CD player until the late 90s, and I wasn’t online until 2003 or so.
Honestly, I’ve yet to really warm to the idea behind Twitter: Expressing what’s on your mind in 140 characters or less. (That won’t surprise this site’s regular readers. A 140-word-post is a short post for me.)
Anyhow, I do have a Twitter account to follow a couple of artists’ tweets. I typically log in once every few weeks. Anyhow, one recent post from last night caught my eye. Michael English said:
I must say Wes Hampton is my fav. Singer now.
That’s interesting both as illustrative of what you might notice on Twitter that you wouldn’t see elsewhere, and (of course) it’s a fascinating and thought-provoking statement on its own.
(Wes Hampton’s reply: “I NEVER would have DREAMED M.E. would say that about me.We’ve talked whole way home about how much we love u & admire your vox!“)
Wonder what happened in the studio for him to make that conclusion… Wes does happen to be one of my favorite singers he is incredible!!!!!
I use to go to various singers web site to read their blogs and news and I find it frustrating that many are only twittering now. I may hitting 70 but I’ve used a compter in business for many years so I know my way around the internet but I still don’t like facebook, myspace and twitter.
I’m 24 and have used a computer quite a bit, know my way around the internet fairly well (I know where not to go) … and I still don’t like Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter…
I just got into the Twitter craze myself. I can see where it can be useful to “live blog” an event such as a concert or TV performance. I know I will definitely be using it when NQC rolls around.
I like the fact that it has a feature where you can embed it on your own blog. Nothing like keeping everything as central as possible!
Wes over David? Sacrilege!
My favorite SoGo singers of all time would be
Tenor – David Phelps
)
Lead – Michael English
Baritone – Russ Taff
Bass – Tim Riley(is there ANYONE else??
To have two of them CURRENTLY in the GVB is an incredible thing….
