I love creative talent in all its forms. I delight in communicating and following many of the artists and musicians here on Steemit.
I also spend my relaxing hours on YouTube listening to bands and trying to see how their thought processes culminated in the music they come up with.
Some time ago I posted about the talented team of music lovers called Playing for Change.

Street musicians are so immersed in their craft. Note how they "feel" their music. It's raw unadulterated talent. In a world where electronics and computers are used to create music and the genre is becoming increasingly popular, I find these tunes very refreshing.
They have to earn their money entertaining passers-by and this must , surely, result in a honing of their skills like nothing else could provide.
I just love the antics of Grandpa Elliott whose rich, mellow voice is a joy to the ear.
The proceeds of these YouTube inserts go towards art schools all over the world, ehancing and growing the talent of the underprivileged all over the world.
