🎵 Weekly Update

Celebrating 83 weeks of Hive Open Mic

The 83rd consecutive Hive Open Mic event ran from November 7-13, 2021, with the theme: Reason for Living (Razon de Vivir in Spanish). This theme was selected by Spotlight Artist: Hive account@elmusiquito, who is one of this community's many bright and shiny stars from the nation of Venezuela. It is fitting to begin this week's highlights with him.

💛 Pillar of the Community

Continuing our new tradition of honoring a person who is particularly respectful and influential, I announce our next "Pillar of the Community": Hive account@danieldedosd2. This musician will undoubtedly be a Spotlight Artist at some point, with his vast musical gifts, although this week he is acknowledged as our community's Pillar. He is more than a musician. He is a friend.

I am thankful for the way he offers applause and encouragement to other musicians, being a listener and a music lover. In this week’s event, he offered beautiful words of support, commenting on numerous live music entries. For this effort, he is a champion of engagement in this community. As a reward, we are pinning his post at the top of our community page.

⭐ Acknowledgements

Today's weekly update showcases a small selection of songs that stand out to me personally. Numerous other songs can be explored and enjoyed, beyond this list of newcomers and gems. My intention is to acknowledge the excellent artistry, the supportive community involvement, and above all else: Global Harmony—this is what our community stands for.

Behind the scenes, Hive Open Mic moderators devote many hours each week to listening, commenting, curating, and creating for this community. The moderation task is a big undertaking, and I'm thankful to Hive account@mipiano and Hive account@jesuslnrs for carrying the torch. Additional thanks goes to the OCD Community Incubation Program, who rewards our musicians with generous upvotes.

Naturally, I am grateful to every musician who expressed, and I am pleased by every listener who connected this week. I especially appreciate the listeners who support the musicians, through claps, finger snaps, upvotes, and encouraging words. Thank you. I believe the entire world benefits through the harmonizing power that music gives to us.
