Morning Open Thread ❧ Thursday with Playing For Change: "Take Me Home, Country Roads"

“Music, once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies.” ― Edward Bulwer Lytton

Note: If you’re interested in guest hosting or signing up to cover a day of Morning Open Thread, 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.

Given all the chatter we already have and my work schedule, I again am going to take today 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.

Be well, be kind, and appreciate the love you have in your life.
