Johann Sebastian Bach on Facebook..

Right off the start: This chapter should really be titled, “What I have to say about Johann Sebastian Bach.” Specifically, Johann Sebastian Bach news. You can find it on my Johann Sebastian Bach Facebook page. And exactly what is it? It’s what my wife considers worth posting ... together with me. But she’s the boss on Facebook. You can read elsewhere how that came to be, if you have plenty of time..

How can anyone even get by without Facebook these days? The question is almost: Is it even possible to avoid Facebook? Can you really live without Facebook? Click here to visit my “Bach Facebook presence”..

Is There Much Info on Facebook Page about Bach? Plus Are There Music Videos?..

And if you’re not on Facebook, you don’t get any news? About Bach? None at all? I … would be annoyed. I’d even boycott myself. Yeah, that’s just how I am. And I’m asking you: Don’t be like me. Have someone set up a Facebook account for you ... or if you can do it yourself, then go ahead and do it. Technically, it would be a Bach Facebook account. More accurately, a Bach on Bach Facebook account. And why is that? Because you don’t have to do everything with it that the “average Facebook fan” does..

You could set up a Facebook account exclusively for that purpose, to receive only the latest news about Bach from me ... as information. Then you won’t have to know how to use all the buttons, you won’t accidentally invite people to big events, and you won’t spend four hours a day telling everyone that you’re currently busy with your Facebook account..

So if you can’t do this yourself, why not ask your son or daughter, your grandchild, your best friend, or your neighbor ... whoever can manage it even without being an expert? The most important detail: Please have him or her turn off anything that might become a problem. It should be just for Bach on Facebook: solely and exclusively for news about Johann Sebastian Bach ... from all over the world. And just my information. For you..

Bach Plus Facebook ... I Really Tried It..

How do I share news and updates about Bach without making it a life's work? Should it be a modern blog, a newsletter, or a special section on my Bach website? Or maybe – Facebook. I just didn't know. However, I did know this: Facebook isn't really “my thing.” I love two-way communication. Like actually replying to emails, truly nurturing friendships, pen pals, and real friendships. I didn’t want to do that with Facebook..

So, for the time being, the decision was made. No Facebook. Instead: a page on my Bach website. How often? Once a week. And how did that work out? Great … in weeks one and two. And then? Not really at all. The regular schedule didn’t work out. In fact, this part of my Bach website didn’t work out at all. And yet, I still want you to receive news, updates, and noteworthy information from me..

My wife enjoys social media more than I do. So she gave Facebook a try. Just for personal use at first. And she found it exciting. Not in a serious way. Just for fun. She used it sporadically. Easy. Relaxed..

And just like that, the new attempt was born. So we gave Facebook “a second chance.” That’s just how it turned out..

Do Johann Sebastian Bach and Facebook “Get Along” in Our Project?..

Yes, they do. Facebook and Johann Sebastian Bach go well together. When my wife is “in the game.” And when the posts are no longer bound by the need for regularity. Because that’s how it used to be: I wouldn’t have had anything to report for several weeks, and it would have gotten boring for you. And when there was something to report … well, I was busy with something else..

Things have changed quite a bit since then. We now post news on Facebook from time to time. Then, whenever something happens. Better less than more. Better less often than too often. With short texts, pictures, and updates..

What’s rarer than the “New this week” section, as it used to be called? It’s missing the many, many apologies I made during those first few weeks of the website. That won’t happen anymore with Facebook. And not with my wife’s “management.”

J.S. Bach, My Wife, Facebook and Me ( I )

We’re splitting the job. We’ll both be writing and posting. So you’ll be hearing from me on Facebook in the future, too. Not every week ... and certainly not as often at the start of this adventure. But later on, there’ll be more. That said, this, my Facebook page isn’t meant to flood you with posts. Not four a day … sometimes even just one a month..

So we'd really appreciate it if you'd give us a “thumbs up”. After all, it's not enough to just design a beautiful website and put in the effort. We need to let the world know about it somehow..
