Well.....I'm no kid (55), and I love Facebook. I've made contact with people that I haven't heard from in decades, and I'm continuously invited to all sorts of events, and parties. Plus, you can just sit back and see what's going on without being an active participent, if you wish. And,yes, I have found two friends on Facebook that are phonograph geeks.
