Tip & Thou Shalt be Tipped!

Stevee Musicoin.org

Nickel in The Jar has a country feel. It’s dedicated to all the fine street musicians I have encountered in various parts of the globe. Tip them all, I say. Put some nickels in the jar! And speaking of tips, I am grateful for the virtual ones I have received at Musicoin etc. Be sure and tip the artists you like. They’ll always be grateful for the coin.

You can listen to Nickel in The Jar here. If you like it please leave a tip. There are some 5,000 independent musicians on Musicoin, offering a cornucopia of sounds in all genres. And all you have to do to support them is to listen free!

Nickel in the Jar

I don’t play this song for money,
I don’t play for praise.
And I don’t care if they don’t like it,
Gonna play it anyway.

And if you want to go that far,
Put a nickel in the jar…
Put a nickel in the jar.

I don’t work for the corporation
And the pittance that they pay.
I gotta satisfy my soul
And let my fingers play.

And if you want to go that far,
Put a nickel in the jar…
Put a nickel in the jar.

And I will sit here all day long
Strumming on my favourite song.
I don’t care if they don’t like it,
I don’t care what they say.
I don’t care if they don’t buy it,
Gonna play it anyway…
Gonna play it anyway.

I don’t wanna be the next big deal,
A puppet on a string.
I just play it cos I like it,
It don’t mean a thing.

I don’t play this song for money,
I don’t play for praise.
And I don’t care if they don’t like it,
Gonna play it anyway.

And if you want to go that far,
Put a nickel in the jar…
Put a nickel in the jar.

STEVEE Steeming on!

I am now a chip off the old BLOCKCAIN! I have joined the steemit.com adventure:

https://steemit.com/@stevee

It’s safe to say a revolution is taking place for creators and consumers alike, and it’s being powered by #blockchain technology. Artists, writers, thinkers, teachers – all manner of people of diverse persuasions, interests and insights – are now generating income for their ideas and creations.

If you have something to say, then you can say it.  Rule Number One: when you get into the #blockchain, it’s a good idea to support what others are saying and doing.

On steemit.com, I’m concentrating on the musical side of being a Steemian. My music is becoming available on DSound (the audio side of #steemit). A lot have joined before me. I mean A LOT! However, I am still fairly early on in joining the #blockchain revolution and steemit.com

Here’s a few things about becoming a Steemian:

  • It is in giving  that you receive. So ENGAGE with people, play nice and then ENGAGE some more!
  • Join all the Discord groups associated with steemit.com for stuff that gets your rocks off!
  • At first, poke around, look, listen and learn. Comment a lot on what you encounter in your ongoing steemit adventure
  • Expect slow and steady progress at first
  • Continue diligently looking, listening and supporting others work
  • Comment on things you like
  • Vote (upvote is the jargon) for stuff you like
  • Patience is a virtue!

With steemit,com you just have to buckle up and steem on!

Steemit.com is free to join – you’ll enjoy all its benefits as soon as you become an approved STEEMIAN.

Here are some links to great musicians I follow on steemit:

Musicoin Musings

#Blockchain is a marvel motivating a revolution in indie music of all stripes and hues. It’s all happening at musicoin.org. The concept is simple: fans play free and musicians get paid in $MUSIC, one of the new crypto currencies, the daddy of them all being bitcoin. I trust Musicoin will navigate the ground ahead. People seem to be in turmoil about wallets and Bittrex, Etherium and various complex crypto currency issues. But I don’t want to drone on about that here. NO! The fact is Musicoin has amassed a roster of 2,500 independent musicians. The quality of music is very high. Unlike the big players such as Soundcloud, Musicoin streams a large amount of killer tracks. There’s not so much sorting the wheat from the chaff.

Musicoin is revolutionising music licencing in favour of musicians. Stop! Read that again. Well, hallelujah! Since the dawn of recorded music artists have been shafted, ripped off and treated like performing monkeys, i.e. they got paid peanuts! Now, music can be delivered straight from the musician to the fan, without layers of middlemen and intermediaries feeding from the trough. I personally remember my first deal with EMI Records. All the money vanished in a process of smoke and mirrors, and I remained a skint musician.

Musicoin has big plans to package music products with entrepreneurial third parties. For instance, they are working with the folks at  ROCKI to create the first blockchain audio speaker that actually pays musicians when fans clap. How cool is that!? Read an article on this mind-blowing development here.  But of course nothing big happens without challenges along the way. That’s why I encourage musicians and fans to support and JOIN musicoin.org. Oh yes, did I mention, it’s FREE!

And now, back to the Musicoin musicians. I’ve discovered so much talent, some stellar songs and I want to share a small selection with you here:

ROCK: Fight For Your Right To The Truth – Artist: Juxta
SKA PUNK: Lunatics – Artist: Spawn
ALTERNATIVE ROCK: Shut Up And Dance – Artist: Shotgun21
EDM: Madness (with NewenX) – Artist – Raven
SINGER-SONGWRITER: Butterfly – Artist – Heather Sullivan
COUNTRY: A Long Way To Nashville – Artist – Nate Atkins
FUNK SOUL: Sexy Sexy Lady – Artist – Kahsay

Here is an example of the Musicoin embedded player. These are popping up all over the place, so you don’t always have to go to the Musicoin site to play. You can play some more right here on Stevee.ru

Join the Musicoin revolution now at musicoin.org

Blockchain – Musicians & Fans Gain

Please support STEVEE and other independent musicians at musicoin.org. It uses #blockchain technology to cut out all the middle men. Basically you play free, and we get paid a small amount for each spin. A good thing about musicoin.org is that you don’t necessarily have to go to the site as you can use an embedded player like the ones below.

Anyway, I hope you can give it a click as you can play for free and support me at the same time.

For details about how musicoin.org is using Blockchain technology and revolutionizing the distribution and consumption of music, read Musicoin’s white paper here.
