Haha, I see you are using the 'sensitive settingsā Gordon,
I already had an IG a/c from years ago, just so I could look at my sonās artwork. I must admit, this dinosaur found a bit of a pfaff trying to upload a YT video
I use fb mainly to keep in touch with folks that I normally wouldnāt- friends and family back in Ireland, old volleyball teammates and local musicians/art centre events. Itās also handy to be able to directly message minor celebrities, sharing my latest cover of their song or pestering for a housegig
But I get yaā¦ Iām sure Iām the kind of guy some folk leave fb because of!
I did delete my (also unused) X account a while back. A bridge too farā¦
Wow Brian. This instagram thing is such fun! Whilst eating my breakfast this morning Iāve learned how to tie two ropes together, how to apply for solar panels, three things I should stop doing if I want to be happier, a different way to string a guitar and best of all, six Japanese ways to combat laziness.
Iām so glad the clocks go back an hour tonight. That gives me an extra hour to learn more stuff!
Hi Gordon,
And that is exactly one of the main reasons why Justin wanted us to read and watch a film less than 4 years ago why we had to stop socials for a better lifeā¦
Now you can make the lives of those people who live on those kinds of socials better by introducing them to Justinās guitar lessonsā¦ but attracting people to those socials is very much the opposite world.
I really donāt see why that matters
If you entered and didnāt win, you simply didnāt win.
If someone you knew from the community won, theyād be very likely to thank Justin here, unless of course they wanted to keep it quiet, which would be fine too.
The only reason I can think of, would be if we thought he was pulling a fast one and not giving away anything at allā¦ Canāt really imagine that.
The chances are you donāt know them from Adam and theyāve got every right to privacy if they want it. Respecting that privacy is far more polite than blasting their details over the internet. If they say that Fred Smith from NYC won then how do you know if thatās a real person or not?
Donāt enter if you donāt like that
Brianā¦youāre one of my favourite examples ā¦your sense of humor is inspiring!
Jasmineā¦Iām afraid this is just sillyā¦the only good outcome could be the unknown composer would now become known, because itās very likely he would come out of his grave just to smash my guitar on my head for being so unrespectfull toward his tune ā¦ouchā¦my guitar is big and heavy
As mentioned by @Stuartw the original mail noted that the winner would be announced on the 26th (of August).
There was a place on the page where the name was supposed to be announced.
There has been no news despite reminders from several members.
If you donāt want to have your name cited while you win, donāt participate.
When I see that the winners of the āPlayinā it Forwardā are listed (https://www.justinguitar.com/playin-it-forward) I donāt think it would be a privacy issue to name the winner of this lottery.
Me playing a PRS to win a PRS that I donāt have room for .
@brianlarsen thanks for drawing attention to this. Iām a rubbish instagrammer so I doubt I would have found it otherwise. Your song made me smile - good job.
Be careful because Karma can be a horrible beast ā¦ sometimes
