After resisting the Facebook movement, I finally discovered the power of such a tool. A bit late perhaps, but at least it happened. My group "Jim Meck - official group" is a great way for me to inform people of upcoming gigs and other things going on in my musical life. You can also see photos of the Hockey This Morning guys from SiriusXM NHL Home Ice (Sirius 208/XM 204) for whom I wrote a song. They play it on occasion, but your requests would be appreciated. The show airs M-F from 7-11am. The name of the song is "Hockey This Morning" or as they call it "The Hockey This Morning Song". Their email is htm@nhlhomeice.com or you can call them at 877-645-6696 during open phone times.
My daughter created a group for her Relay for Life team - "K8 the Gr8 Relay for Life Team". This group is dedicated to raising funds for Relay for Life, an event sponsored by the American Cancer Society. Many of these funds support local people who are battling this disease. The Facebook group is only intended to be an information source and will direct you to the site where you can actually join her team or make a donation. See the link on my site www.jimmeck.com.
Other groups I have created include the Brandywine Heights Indoor Drum Line group and the Brandywine Heights Indoor Color Guard group. These are school ensembles which encourage local students to be involved in the music program in more ways than just band or chorus. The more positive opportunities our young people have, the better. Their home show is on March 21, 2009 at the Brandywine Heights High School near Topton, PA.
So even after much negativity about such community type sites, and there certainly are reasons to be cautious, there are many positive aspects to this technology. If you have a Facebook account, I hope you will consider joining one of these groups and
