Hello Steemit!

It is Saturday morning , so this means it is time for another update for the #coverasteemian initiative , where you can pay tribute to you favorite authors on the Steem platform and also support them with some SBD. Open up the hug pit!

First of all , a couple announcements:

- A big shoutout to @Isaria and @msp-music!

I'd like to thank @Isaria and the MSP team for also supporting the #coverasteemian entries and sending extra upvotes and support. Even though the main goal of the initiative is to show support to other authors through playing their music , being able to send some extra SBD as support to the musicians has that little extra treat, so thank you very much @Isaria for sending some extra upvote love to the participants :D !

For those who don't know @Isaria is one of the biggest music supporters in the Steemit platform, hosting radio shows , hosting the Sounds of Steem event , and much more! She also runs a Weekly music curation where you can always discover more musical gems that are being uploaded, this was the last one :D . Go take a look !

Open Mic has a discord channel now!

Through the hard work of @krystle and @ausbitbank , a discord channel for open mic has been launched not so long ago, this is a great place to chat , talk with musicians , hear entries, work collaborations or just hang out and have fun along fellow music lovers .

@Krystle was very kind to add a #cover-a-steemian channel inside their discord server , this is meant to be able to reach out a fellow musician you'd like to cover and ask for permission, chords or maybe set up a collaboration! who knows! it's a great common place to be able to talk ... oh .. and I'm also reachable there , if you have any questions regarding the #coverasteemian initiative you can just tag me there :) .

Come join us there :
https://discord.gg/VJHPeka

Also a shoutout to @passion-ground ! for his support and including the #coverasteemian entries in his Open Mic judge posts! It really means a lot to me brother! Thanks for that!

-Let's support the Open Mic Contest.

This initiative is a little brother to the #openmic contest run by @luzcypher , so my support is always with the Open Mic family and I'd like to use this little space to give him and all the Open Mic judges my big thanks , they have been very friendly and supportive towards me since my start here in Steemit so I'd like to support them back as much as I can , I'm still a small account but If we'd like to help the Open Mic family there are a couple things we can do:

-Join the @openmic curation trail.

As you may know , there is an account used for voting all valid entries to the open mic contest, this is a way to give some rewards to all the participants and help add some incentive to the music community. By joining the trail you will be upvoting all the valid entries in the contest , helping fellow musicians and also earning some curation money while you sleep! good deal huh?

Here is a video done by @atomcollector on how to set up for a curation trail:

-Vote for @pfunk and @ausbitbank as Witnesses.

@pfunk is the main sponsor of the Open Mic contest , providing STEEM to give away as prizes to the 5 winners of the Open Mic Contest weekly! It is very important to keep him inside the Top 20 Witnesses for him to be able to give his continued support to the Open Mic Music Family.

@ausbitbank is also one of the biggest supporters of the Music Family here on Steemit ( and to many other community projects in the platform ) So , please consider voting for them here:

Now let's get to this week's entry!

-@Paintingangels covering ''Picture on the wall''by @Dinoromanelli.

https://steemit.com/coverasteemian/@paintingangels/cover-a-steemian-picture-on-the-wall-by-dino-romanelli-by-paintingangels

Well, Serena did it again! It seems that any song that you perform just gets imbued by your sweet air, big props in adventuring to moving the harmony a little bit to your own style , Loving this!

Since the original is in itself an amazing composition, I just have to also throw it in here @dinoromanelli! I love the James Taylor guitar vibe ! He might be my favorite acoustic guitar player of all time ! ( not to mention his amazingness as a composer and singer). I have this song in repeat while I write this hehehe !

Well , we only had one entry this week but I got a lot of questions in DM from users about submitting their entries so I know next week will have more action :D !!

---

The #coverasteemian initiative is always open , you can submit a video anytime , just follow these rules:

-Cover a Steemian rules (updated 07/4/2018)
