Morning Open Thread ❧ Tuesday with Playing For Change: "Rosemary"

“There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard.” — Sun Tzu

Good morning everyone and welcome to Tuesday’s Morning Open Thread.

Morning Open Thread is a daily, copyrighted post from a host of editors and guest writers. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.

I’ve come to think of this post as one where you come for the music and stay for the conversation—so feel free to drop a note.

Join us, please.

I’ve just gotten back from some time away. But I’ll catch up as quickly as I can. This morning is busy for me and I have an out-of-town meeting before lunch, so I’ll be in and out. Cheers and have a wonderful day. 

Given the state of the world these days, again I am going to take Tuesdays for music from a wonderful organization: Playing for Change. If you aren’t familiar with the group, I would highly recommend you tour their site and see what they’re all about.

“We inspire and connect the world through music.”

Our primary focus is to record, and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power through a variety of videos.

Chances are, one of those videos brought you here today, along with millions of others music-lovers from every continent.

To date, we have produced nearly 400 videos, recorded over 1,400 musicians in 60+ countries, and touched the hearts of over 2 billion viewers through our music videos, performances, and school programs.
