[78-L] Facebook for 78'ers, was Re: Sirius/XM cancels 40s channel

[Ron L'Herault]

Oh, God!!! NOOOOO!!  Some members of the Dixieland Jazz mailing list thought
it would be great to start a facebook page now the group is fragmented.
Many of us don't like FB or don't belong to it.  I do belong but find any
discussion on FB to be impossible.  You can't follow threads, other things
seem to intervene.  It's a toy approach -OOO,  look at the neat picture of
this.  Look Look.  It sucks up time and you don't get more or better
information, and if you have to try to find a message that is more than a
few hours old, forget it.

Lots of holdouts to Facebook but that's also where much of 78-L's membership
has migrated. There are a few groups devoted to 78s, plus the ability to
post pictures and (legal) music links.
78 rpm records & cylinders fan group
Shellacrecords 78rpm
Classical Music & Opera (1877-1950)

I'm not on Facebook but this may be an incentive to throw me over to the 
Dark Side.
