DTube REAL — @NED's LETTER to the STEEMIANS [A brief opera]

Steemit CEO @ned and his team wrote such a beautiful letter to the Steemians that I felt it had to be set to music. This is my attempt at turning it into a little opera.

I started with the post. Here’s a link: https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemitblog/steemit-winter-update-2017-reflection-our-vision-statement-and-mission-and-a-look-forward. READ IT!

I didn’t prepare to perform this at all – it is completely improvised. I simply got the guitar, tuned it up, and started playing. So whatever sounds unrehearsed, was. There are also a couple of errors in there / it was a LOT of text!

In the song I mention the following amazing Steem-team folks: @goldibex @pkattera @andrarchy @theoretical. I apologize if I mis-sung your name! Let me know if I did :)

Here’s a picture of what my one monitor looked like while I was singing and playing (it's a lot of text!).

Tell me what you think!

Catch you on the flip side. We are alive!

I love how you can just tell a story, give information, hold a discussion, tell ANYTHING, while jamming. I absolutely enjoyed your performance. 😄
And the soft 'binance dot cooom...'

Haha @art.life Thanks!

Yup. I tried to be tender with binance :) I'm always looking for vowels as I'm trying to sing the text :) As an artist, you will dig that mindset. I have to kind of be in there seeing what's next.

Thanks for the note! :)
