I found one of my favorite musicians on Facebook today. And while I would never presume to send him a friend request, I did want to let him know that his efforts were appreciated. To protect his privacy, I will not reveal who it is but I wanted to share the content of the letter with you:
"You don't know me and I won't bother you with a friend request. You don't even need to respond. Just wanted to let you know that you are the favorite-ever keyboard player of at least one person... me.
Hope you are well. And thank you for contributing so much to some of my all-time favorite music."
Do you think it was even presumptuous to send this note, or would you have appreciated it if it were you? Did I step over a line?
He is moderately famous, at least among certain circles, but certainly not a household name. It was via Facebook PM to his personal page.
Thoughts?
