It's been 9 months since ''Cover a Steemian'' was created // Some of the Steemians I have covered.

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!

All I can say is thank you for making this a great first year for the #coverasteemian initiative! I am thrilled to see what will happen next year , already brainstorming some ideas! A big shout out to all the music family on this platform, you all make this possible!

Thank you for reading and listening!

Much love right back at you too, Pechiche! (I know, I'm the only one that calls you "Pechiche" - ha-ha).
You're doing a remarkable job with this initiative, and it has done nothing but add value to the platform and bring joy to all those who participate!


I'd also like to THANK YOU - for helping me get the 2-year Open-Mic Anniversary Mash-Up off the ground. I could not possibly have gone on to finish it without you!
