Musicians? Again? It was bound to happen: I guess musicians like to connect with other musicians even on Twitter. Even if we can’t have a jam of the old fashioned kind, we’ll create something new. Check out this week’s #2FollowTuesday recommendations. Though they’re both musicians, they are each one of a kind. Please #Follow @DShojiNakamoto playing …

Thirteen is Chris’ and Steven’s lucky number for this edition of #2FollowTuesday. It’s no surprise that though they are each musicians, they have a myriad of other interests.
