Today your intrepid blogger received a friend request from one of his favorite blogosphere-colleagues: the almost-famous ACB (of the concert fame).

Once I got over my stardom jitters, and accepted the request, I did the traditional social-network-stalker dance, and perused through ACB's posted pictures... only to find them chockerblock full of mutual friends!  Well, hardly chockerblock - that's a lot of block - but a surprising amount of connection nonetheless.  It took me a full second or so to realize that my shock was totally unwarranted.

I work in a very small industry.  Everyone knows everyone else here - and the higher you get up that young artist/career ladder, the smaller the group gets.  Is it any surprise that some of the good singers I know end up in the same places, working for the same companies?  I uncover this kind of connection with my colleagues every day.  Still, it never ceases to amaze.  

Small world!
