🎵 Hive Open Mic

Special Announcement

A new invitation to sing together is coming soon. In a few weeks, we're inviting all musicians to sing one song in unison. Our goal is to combine all of the participating voices and instruments into a singular musical expression that represents Global Harmony. This is for our 111th Community Concert, beginning Sunday, May 22, 2022.

The reason for this special occasion is because of a tragic incident that happened in Nigeria, involving a violent crime and cover-up. This motivated our Pillar of the Community @ebingo to create a song, in order to shine a light for Truth and Love (see his original post: This Little Town). Singing it together will give us all a chance to feel the closeness of our far-reaching community.

Personal Invitation

Hive Open Mic host @cabelindsay introduces Hive Open Mic #111.

We will sing "This Little Town" in English, and possibly Spanish too, for the 111th week. Then we will compile everyone's contributions into a live music mashup and music video, like we've done twice before (see the examples below). We're grateful to @ebingo for his inspired song. We are proud of him for being a ray of light. 🌟

Requests

We invite your input. We still have several weeks to prepare for this song, and everybody's attention is appreciated in this community-wide effort. We have some specific leadership opportunities available here, so let us know if you feel called to step up and help with this initiative. Specifically, we're looking for the following:

• Spanish-language translation of the song
• Sharable "scratch track" we can all use as a metronome, to ensure we're all in rhythm and on pitch
