Telegram is a message app for for iOS/MacOS/Android/Win/Linux:

Combined with the creative genious of the fellow operating a
Fido node in Russia: Stas Mishchenkov (2:460/256), a curated
selection of echos are traversing between Fidoland and the
Telegram system.
Just install Telegram (you will need access to a smartphone
that accepts SMS for activation - but it *doesn't* have to be
your smartphone particularly) and then send the command %HELP
to the entity @Fido2telebot. If you send the coommand %LIST,
you will get a list of all echos available, including the
Russian ones that Stas' is supporting in his own native
language. You should be able to recognize the English ones; the
tagnames are the same as used in Fidoland.

They present folky contemporary material. And.. you are quite
right about my attitude about rap. The only rap tune that I
*do* still admire in a musical way is Gangsta Paradise by
Coolio.

Perhaps most of them appreciate not being noticed in the public
when they just want a "normal" outting to shop or run an
errand.
I can still only count on my hand the number of celebs that
have dropped in to my shop: Lloyd Robertson (CBC/CTV
newsanchor), Ed Robertson (singer/songwriter of Barenaked
Ladies), one of the Good Lovlies, ..oh, and perhaps a few
federal politicians that may have visited the area in the past.
