His permission or hers??
i don’t recognise him. But for my sins I recognise the type of class. Ours was called ‘step’: it was a very fast and unbelievably complex set of ‘ways of stepping on and off a block’. Which might have been okay if it weren’t for the ‘detailed attention to random changes in left and right’ bit. i embarrassed myself through one class. Never again.
(Though I might have tried harder for that instructor
)(who is he, anyway?)

No, It is suppose to take you to a video of FundyBrian Brian playing his flute. I will edit with the actual link. Odd, I get the same video each time. Must be FaceBook mangling.
Edit: Double drat!! It isn’t working.
if you are on Facebook, you can search Brian Townsend and watch it. It is just beautiful.

Are you a 'friend' of Brian's by any chance? I'm assuming only friends of Brian will be able to see that video and by zenjenny's description I don't think she could see Brian either
unless he's a she doing a step aerobics class 
I just liked his page. It’s a business page so you don’t have to ask to be a friend. I am unaware of his aerobic interests, I only asked if I could post a link to the video.Are you a 'friend' of Brian's by any chance?

Maybe FundyBrian will post the original video (and any others he has) here for our listening pleasure!

Facebook is SO ANNOYING like that. It's virtually impossible to copy/share a video. I always have to try to find the original on YouTube and copy/paste that way.I just liked his page.

I actually despise FB, its a seething mess of 'fake news' and trivial rubbish. But yeah I keep my account because a few family and colleagues use it. Otherwise I'm be out of there faster than fast.
I have to agree. During the last presidential election I blocked just about everyone except a few cousins and close friends. I didn’t go on for 2 years. Then I started checking it out about once a month. With the recent events and more time than social media on my hands, I’ve been on almost every day.
And the next election is gearing up.
Somehow I've managed to curate my feed pretty well.... I get a lot of stuff that is interesting to me, or funny, or poignant.... I only follow stuff that "feeds" my feed, so to speak.I have to agree.

I think that part of the ability to do that is I don't have that many friends... I've unfriended lots of "acquaintances" because there is never any interaction so.... why be friends? I do understand that there is a lot of

Guess we can count ourselves lucky the misdirect wasn’t to something, er, worse

I have no FB friends ! ! ! tra la ! ! ! (I don’t think I do, anyway - I follow pages, that‘s not the same thing though . . ? Is it?
) Anyway, I don’t see stuff I don’t want to see. The sheer size of the feed is still overwhelming at times, but not offensive or distressing. And if I want updates on someone’s life, I have to look for it. I am a (happy) friend-less FB fringe-dweller

Depending on the page/group I variously ‘like’ things, comment, contribute images, share resources. I help out with admin on a friend’s shamanic wisdom/medicine page. And I host a page for my therapy group.
Apart from that ? Yeah, mainly I lurk
I think that’s what most people do on FB and IG, whether we/they want to admit it.Yeah, mainly I lurk
