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!
