Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Tuesday’s Morning Open Thread.
Editor’s Note: Morning Open Thread is looking for community members willing to take on hosting duties—whether it’s a day here and there or a regular weekly post: Saturdays and Tuesdays are open. If you’re interested, just reach out to me or Officebss. And thank you.
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.
Spring is here on the Gulf Coast and my favorite sport at the moment is watching the neighborhood birds build nests.
Given the chaos in the world these days, again I am taking 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.
