• Before social distancing and masks became the world's norm, CBS News reported on Jan. 12, Paul O'Sullivan of Baltimore was noodling around on Facebook one night, searching for other Paul O'Sullivans.
Several of those he found accepted his friend request, which was when he noticed that some were musicians, as he was.
Baltimore Paul, as he's known, reached out to others, and eventually he and three others formed the Paul O'Sullivan Band.
Manchester Paul plays bass; Pennsylvania Paul is the percussionist; and Baltimore Paul and Rotterdam Paul play guitar and sing.
They recorded a single at the beginning of 2020, but when COVID hit, they thought it was a great opportunity to make a whole album.
"It feels great to be able to contact people on the other side of the world when you're in lockdown because you don't feel alone at the moment," commented Rotterdam Paul. "If you learn to play an instrument, it can help you through some dark times," said Manchester Paul. [CBS News, 1/12/2021]
