Social Media Is Not Simple

I am trying to do this every day on this page. Perhaps you could do it too?

It's not every day that you have one of your performances shared not once, but twice on Instagram (@malakaimusician and on the Duncan Showroom 's page, by the iconic singer, James Taylor. Local singer, songwriter, roadie and overall musician extraordinaire, Malakai covered James Taylor's 'Steamroller Blues' and the rest of the story is covered here in the Cowichan Citizen. Read the article and just imagine that the talent of this 11 year old.....and the strength of social m...edia..... might just shine a big spotlight on himself, the Duncan Showroom, Duncan and its arts community! I don't know Malakai but I have heard him perform many times in conjunction with my work with the The 39 Days of July team. He is magical. https://www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com//cowichan-singer-ma/

This post from Venturi-Schulze Vineyards is certainly the great because of how the text is written. Yes, the image is fine ...- and will catch the eye of those of us who have had the wherewithal to purchase or the luck to receive some of their over-the-top good balsamic vinegar. But the post is...........actually.........hilarious. And it is compelling and it's got a call to action. But the last sentence is the best! Patti Maher, shall I buy you another bottle?
