The Star of my series Happy Whiskey Wednesday, has FINALLY started posting on the platform... Give it up for my Awesome Brother!

in #blog7 years ago


For those of you who have not gotten the memo, I have finally achieved a year long goal-- I got my brother on steemit, woot! Yeah! He actually made the account some months ago, but finally put up an introductory post and I am a very, very proud big sister!

One of the sweetest, kindest, most intelligent, and super talented individuals I have ever known-- and that is just me trying to sum up what I could very easily write a book about. I am so blessed to call him- next to hubby of course- my closest friend in all the world.

And now he is here, @ed-the-songster, to grace this platform with more than just his music- his awesome presence, personality and beautiful nature!

I didn't accomplish this alone though, a huge thanks goes out to my fantastic friends who joined the crusade to Bring Ed Here- @jedau, @therealpaul, @meesterboom, @tonyr, @kiwideb, @sift666, @son-of-satire- you can check out their efforts inside my bro's wallet. Thanks so much you guys! And thanks to the countless others such as @nonameslefttouse and @merej99 who have expressed how much they enjoy his music over the past year, made pleas to him in comment sections of my post as well as those of you supporting his entrance- You are all awesome!!


A week ago I made a post of one of his shows which had a very brief clip of him singing No Diggity, so anyone who checked it out and missed the long ago post where he sang the full song- here it is:

Perfect video for a Friday amiright? I know it gets me in the mood for a party! And now that you've seen how incredible he is, go check out his Introduction Post and Bonfire Song, and his second post about his First Song- 29

Love you all, thanks for your support!!

I looove you Linnet! And I'm getting all choked up here. What a beautiful thing to say. I am so grateful to have you in my life. Thanks for believing in me from the beginning. You are the most supportive person to my music, and through and through the best a sibling there could be. And you also have such an amazing talent in writing, and you have an amazing talent with people. Look at all these folks who are vibing off of your art and beautiful personality. You are a shining beacon- and now that I see it in this steemit world, I'm more proud of you than ever.

Good job, Ed. You're a lucky man to have such a supportive sister and apparantly a kickin' place to do your thing. Me and my friend used to do open mic nights in San Diego and even full shows acoustically but often especially in one particular venue over by SDSU (no longer in business) we never got people to get out of their own little hookah smoking world to interact with us or even applause. Oops, I promised myself I wouldn't be bitter... Keep playing and having fun!

I am very lucky man indeed. And yeah, it's sometimes hard to get people to react. Believe you me, I play some venues with large applauses and an energetic audiences, and sometimes i play places that don't even seem to notice me there. I try not to let those places get me down, and I also try not to revisit them, even if the price is right.

This is great. I see that Ed is standing beneath the Burger Challenge Winners sign, does this mean that in addition to being a kickass musician he is also a winner of burger challenges?

Haha thanks - but, nope, I can barely finish one regular burger at that place, they are huge!

He answered that for me ;)

congratulations dear friend @dreemit for this achievement, he will be very successful on the platform, he is a very talented artist.
I wish you a happy Friday of wisky

Thank you my lovely friend @jlufer! I believe he will too, he is most definitely talented! I wish you a wonderful Friday too, much love to you xo

Hehe, smashing stuff. He will be off to a flying start!

Thanks to all of my smashing friends :)

this is the best thing i have watched today it is fantastic to hear :)

I'm glad you feel that way, he has two posts up now under @ed-the-songster :)

this is very cool

Thank you ;)

he will love this community and will make new friends cheers :)

Music is my heart .My leisure time playing my guitar and singing song

That's great!

nice bro @dreemit

Haha, yes he is.

amazing artist he is for sure no doubt about that after listening big thanks to you for sharing it :D

It was my pleasure, thanks for listening :)

That's super cool to know finally he is here great victory :D

Woohoo! What a team effort! Good job, guys :D I'd like to mention another unsung hero who did most of the heavily lifting for my part. Ed's conscience, take a bow, brother. Everyone, a round of applause.

Here I feel like it should be the other way around. We should be thanking @ed-the-songster for gracing us with his sweet sweet tunes!
