Still, the abundance of social networking sites (or at least the few I frequent) allows a lowly folksinger like me to have listeners as close as Sacramento and as far away as New Zealand and South Africa. It really is a blessing. Here are a few other places you can find me:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/mhgaither\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/twitter-gaither-3.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Follow me on Twitter<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/mhgaither\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>. Also known as &#8220;mini-blogging&#8221;, or saying what you have to say in 140 words or less. Comments can be as insightful as &#8220;eating Cheerios for breakfast&#8221; or giving details of the latest post to your web site. This one&#8217;s really grown on me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/people\/Michael_Gaither\/533781128\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/facebook-gaither-3.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>My Facebook profile<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/people\/Michael_Gaither\/533781128\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>. People love or hate Facebook. I take the former. Think of this as Myspace for the 21+ crowd. The thing I appreciate about Facebook is it seems as though the friend requests I get are from a) people I actually know or b) have found me through my music and really want to connect.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/michaelgaithermusic\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/myspace-gaither-3.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>My Myspace page<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/michaelgaithermusic\" target=\"_blank\">Myspace<\/a>. Even though 90% of the &#8220;Add Friend&#8221; requests I get are from other bands, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/michaelgaithermusic\" target=\"_blank\">Myspace<\/a> is still an easy place to post a profile and music. It&#8217;s also the one place my 13-year-old niece Regi will answer my email, which makes being on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/michaelgaithermusic\" target=\"_blank\">Myspace<\/a> totally worth it.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reverbnation.com\/michaelgaither\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/reverbnation-gaither-2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>My page on ReverbNation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reverbnation.com\/michaelgaither\" target=\"_blank\">Reverbnation<\/a>. The new hip site for musicians to post their music &#8211; and for fans to learn all about an artist with just a few clicks. I also manage my mailing list through this site.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re on any of these, do drop me an Add Friend request, become a &#8220;fan&#8221; on ReverbNation, or follow me on Twitter. Be nice to see a virtually  familiar face. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/> Subscribe to this blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.michaelgaither.com<\/a><\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michaelgaither.com%2Fhome%2Ftwittering_away_on_facebook%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;&amp;width=800&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:800px;height:30px;margin-top:5px;\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to meeting folks (whether fans, friends, or a mix of both), I always prefer it to be [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":547,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223\/revisions\/547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
