Thread Name: Have you googled yourself lately?
Subject: RE: Have you googled yourself lately?
Yeah, just to check on what I've been up to lately, I try it every now and then. I seem be the president and CEO of some company, and I also have a woodworking shop somewhere in the wilds of Ontario. Several hits lead me to various postings on Mudcat, one hit indicating that I was a regular singer at a coffee house in Seattle that I dropped in on from time to time but never actually sang at, and nothing on the coffee houses in the area that I did sing at. And there's an article for Victory Review magazine by Mudcatter Stewart in which he mentions my name.

Go to google "Advanced Search," put "folk" in the top box and "Don Firth" in the second box and it tightens it a lot. Put in "folklife" instead of "folk," and the top listing is "Folklife 2003," where Sally Tomson posted some photos she took with her new digital camera of the Coffee House Reunion ("Geezer's Concert") at the 2003 Northwest Folklife Festival. Sally didn't get the camera adjusted too well (still figuring out how to run the thing) and the lighting seems a bit iffy (bright enough in the venue, however), but she got shots of Bob (Deckman) Nelson who led off the concert, then me, then miscellaneous shots of the rest of the crew, including the "grand finale."

Ye gods! You can never tell what might be out there that can come back and haunt you!!
