Hello Steemit!
As I said in my ''Fly - Ren Kai'' post it's that time of the year where I inevitably start doing a recap of all the hits and misses I've had during this 2018 but since I choose to focus and share the positives I thought I would share a bit of this initiative that somehow has stayed quite alive all this time.
''Cover A Steemian'' is now 9 months old!
I know it's not that long but in terms of Blockchain time it does feel like an eternity :P . The Cover A Steemian initiative just came as an idea of bringing musicians together and helping create stronger bonds between them , also, I personally wanted to encourage a particular Steemian who had left the platform to come back after seeing he had left and I really loved his compositions. There is so much good music among the people around this place and unfortunately , a lot of talent is still going overlooked .. but , little by little , we will turn that around!
After seeing @basilmarples and @tarotbyfergus covering each other on an Open Mic just because they liked each other's music and watching how a friendship was born , I knew I would have to give this a try. I went and covered one of my favorite authors at that time and this came out :
Cover a Steemian - Singing Winds (@afrao0).
Singing Winds (@afrao0) - Original song.
The #coverasteemian initiative got massive support from the community and ever since then dozens of steemians have performed each other's music using this as a platform , I have been honored to have this initiative included to the official @openmic posts since as you know this is a little brother project to the Steemit Open Mic and having their support means a lot , a big thanks to @luzcypher , @soundlegion , @krystle , @meno , @verbal-d and @passion-ground. Much love your way always!
Oh .. and of course I have to give a huge shout out to my brother @passion-ground since he also gave this initiative a big boost by creating ''The Passion Ground Challenge'' where we had a big amount of participants covering his original songs and some awesome musical moments happened. Thank you for that Passion , over and over :) .
The initiative has declined a bit on the last months because of the general mood/situation on the platform but even now , some people have kept participating thus giving me a reason to keep it alive ,even if it is on a slow moment, @amberyooper , I'm looking at you ;) !
So , as a little recap and celebration of this initiative still being alive , I'd like to share some of the songs I have covered from some of my favorite authors , ''steemies'' and good friends :D . Here we go!
