Face Book has a funny way of enforcing whether or not you can send friend requests to your friends. Face Book believes they know who your friends are even better than you do. they have proved this to me over and over again. They have even gone as far as punishing my account by not allowing me access to requesting friends for days at a time. I think it's time for us to stand up to Face Book and let them know how we feel. They even went as far as to say that I didn't know the people from Yuba and American River College I went to school with. Face Book has it's good side, but there is a darker side. This is a blatant act of Big Brother syndrome.

My page is for my Band. 2 Rivers which can also be found at www.myspace.com/2riversband. Our Bio is as follows;

Vinnie Pantaleoni (BIO) Vinnie has been playing bass for over 35 yrs and has played with some of the biggest names in the business during that time. He was the bass player for the pop-rock band Steel Breeze which was signed to RCA Recods and had success in the early to mid 80’s with the hit song “You Don’t Want Me Anymore”. Some of the artists Vinnie’s toured with have been The Who, Hall and Oates, Joan Jett, Kansas, The Greg Kihn Band, Missing Persons and Robin Trower just to name a few. Vinnie’s strength at bass playing are in R & B, Blues and Funk. With a very solid sound to his playing, he can lay down powerful rhythms and beats with relative ease. Along with a strong drummer, Vinnie is a driving force to be reckoned with when it comes to the rhythm section - very powerful and driving.

Bert, “Hubert Pilk” has been playing drums/percussion from the Bay Area to the Pacific North West since the late 80's. Bert spent some time performing with a number of Christian bands, one who’s recording of the song “Awakening” is still being played at colleges throughout the country. Bert’s training began with a spot on the Santa Clara based Drum & Bugle Corps, but throughout the years he’s emulated the drummers of three bands, "Tower of Power", "Chicago" and "Rush". In addition, Motown's "Funk Brothers" have played a major role in his identity as a musician; anyone who’s seen Bert perform will know just what we mean. He recently spent 2 yrs performing with Dwight Hogan former bassist for “Sly and The Family Stone” back in the 70's.
