Hey, I sure appreciate the encouragement, brother. Thank you. I'm honored to share the stage with you. Of course thinking of how we might co-facilitate, as you clearly have the passion and leadership ability. Glad to see your comment below too, regarding HiveStreet. Sounds like a natural collaboration to me!

A suggestion: in requests, for participants and listeners to vote and comment on individuals' posts. This increases traffic and genuine user engagement to make it genuinely feel like there is a dedicated audience listening to and appreciating each performance, just as if we were doing it live in a pub.

And mention this also assists live musicians and live music on Hive in general.

And in this a suggestion that it is also greatly appreciated to visit respective YouTube accounts of the performances; like, comment and subscribe - as external social media participation helps promote a Hive activity and again also assists in promoting live, independent music.

Actual user engagement is the big thing here.

Speaking of which, a community I began called HiveStreet is all about promoting live music on Hive. It's still in its infancy but can be used in conjunction with the open mic to help promote each artist's performance. I will make you an admin if you want.

Thanks again for these suggestions. Yes, I can see how some additional wording will invite the audience to engage more with the artists. That's exactly what we want: community building between musicians and music fans.
