Well said, you pretty much hit the nail on the head!
When I was in Japan I played at open jams with a bunch of Japanese musicians that barely spoke english. What we lacked in verbal communication, we more than made up for when jamming.
Openmic is probably the best Contest on Steemit IMO. It has all the goodies!
- Community building
- Creative encouragement and opportunity
- Instant Feedback
- Prizes
- MUSIC!
It was the first contest I ever entered back when it was week 1. Wasn't that your first entry too @quineaker? I think that's the first time I ever saw your Digi playing!
@luzypher, believe it or not, Openmic was one of the major factors that kept me here on Steemit. It gave me the opportunity to put my original demos out and myself as a vocal performer, which I hadn't the balls to do prior.
Now look at me lol ;)
@jaybird I'm so happy to hear you playing music and teaming up with @dan-atstarlite to form @steembirds is really exciting. I think you guys rock!
Comments like yours make me feel so good and let me know that Open Mic is doing what we set out to do. Build community and have some fun!
You guys keep doing what you're doing and we'll keep supporting you. Let's change the world by bringing in one musician at a time to the platform and sharing music.
Ya dude, it's been a real blast so far. It's pretty special since without steemit existing I can honestly say that Dan and I would never have formed a band together.
And I definitely think Open Mic is crushing it. It always has actually IMO. Just now it's exploded beyond containment haha.
It was the ONLY thing that kept me on Steemit, @jaybird... Glad you felt that way a bit too...
YA mon!
That's special. You do a lot to help the music community with so much love and encouragement. Plus, you rock!
It wasn't the first contest I ever entered but I do think it was the first time I played the didg on Steemit!
Yes I love this project and this community! Mad respect and support. I make sure to promote it every week and put the word out!
No, I meant you entered week one of Openmic as well, I'm pretty sure i recall that...
Oh yes I sure did!
In fact I made a tribute post to open mic on the one year anniversary with a years worth of my favorite entries!

You have always been a strong supporter of the music scene on Open Mic. I feel the love and return it in kind.
