Helpie's Weekly Music Discoveries - #2 by Helpie Curator @paintingangels
Second Edition - October 12, 2018
Hello, STEEMIANS!
Welcome to the second edition of the Helpie Music Curation Project! This weekly collection highlights posts by musicians who could use an extra bit of love, as they have currently not received the attention that they rightfully deserve.
If you might visit their blogs and give them some listens and maybe even some upvotes or resteems, that would just be very helpful of you! 😍
There are so many amazing musicians on the STEEM blockchain. It's truly a magical wonderland of beautiful music! Here are just a few of them!

Giant Violin Sample -I play all my favorite violin pieces in absolutely no order
"Lots of original, some impromptu, lots of Irish Fiddle, some classical, a little rock and roll even."
"People always want me to play violin. I enjoy it, but I also like to sing and play guitar, so if you like this make sure to check out some of those other vids! Thanks, fam! <3"
Serena's note:
This man is brilliant musician, and not just on violin! He's a singer/songwriter as well as a mighy fine guitar picker.
I'd like to also let you all know that he entered the open mic for the first time ever this week. I pat myself on the back for suggesting it! Check it out on his blog. It's fantastic
Fun fact:
There is a brilliantly-spoken phrase somewhere in this video. Watch it all the way through. It made me laugh heartily.
[Hint: It happens somewhere between the 13-minute mark and the end of the video.]

"Idiopan plus cigar box guitar"
"A little multitrack jam i put together with some hand drums, my idiopan and my cigar box guitar. Fractals were made in jwildfire."

Serena's note:
There's such an organic display of percussional magic here. The track starts out dreamy and just gets dreamier. I took the liberty of searching to see if a YouTube video existed for it so that I could add that here for easy playing. I hope you'll take a well-deserved listen here. (And view!)

Music for Dance - Solo Piano - [Long Plie]
"Here’s an improvised 4min piece for a plie dance exercise. It’s based off of a C - to Ab maj harmonic base. Enjoy!"
Serena's note:
You may very well already know him as one-half of those wildly charismatic @SteemBirds, but what you may not know is that Jay Sussman is also himself a very talented solo pianist (and sandwich architect - he is the creator of the Steemit Sandwich Contest.)
Check out his blog for more beautiful piano (sometimes with drums as well) pieces and to view his daily "manwich" sandwiches. They're always quite interesting and they'll probably make you hungry. You have been warned.
