Good Morning World!

I'm leaving Face Book.

This will be my replacement.

I'm leaving because:

Hubzilla DOES NOT use algorithms to sort people's comments.
At Hubzilla they are ALL shown in chronological order.
There are NO advertisements. It's a community project.
Last and not least, it has nothing to do with Mark Suckerberg.

I will be sending my new contact information to everyone on my FB list, and to the various groups I now belong to.

A lot of my contacts on Face Book are people I went to high school with. They already know my history, but since I am new on the Hub, I'll give you some background. I grew up in Los Altos California, ( south of San Francisco, silicon valley) which was a nice upper middle class paradise, where the theft of a bicycle was the headline in the local newspaper. At the age of six, after hearing an Elvis record at my friend's house, I decided to be a musician. In grade school I tried the clarinet, (because there was one in the house that no one was using), but the teacher was a tyrant who didn't like children and was (to put it mildly) an aßßhole. I told my mother I didn't like clarinet any more. That was of course a lie, but in those days you couldn't say anything against an adult. A few years later I got a guitar for Christmas and I was on my way. My parents bought a Silvertone steel string acoustic from Sears. It was good enough to get started. My dad, who was a great gardener, showed me how to trim apricot trees. We had 5 apricot trees on our homestead. I used that skill to work the neighborhood, and made enough to pay for my first electric, a Guild Starfire single pickup. (To be continued).

Happy New Year, Alan! I worked up a couple of backgrounds, but I like yours better.
My monitor just smoked in. I have to go to town and buy another. I need the monitor for all things. ...Strangely dependent on digital. I hope yor eye(s) went well.

Congratulations on departure from FBook. -s

@Scott_H Not sure if you're going to see this since the link I gave you was a guest login, but I'm gonna try and send you a private message. Never did get your e-mail...
