    About :

    Hello everybody on HIVE, and especially the Music Community. My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you from Cape Town, South Africa.

    So far, I am still quite new to HIVE, and with about 1100HP to my name, my upvote on other people's posts is still quite small. I find that I am really grateful for everybody who has been voting up my posts to get me to this stage, and I wish that I could give people larger rewards myself in thanks.

    Lately I have been using Ecency points to boost other people's posts and that certainly helps me to support other people's accounts (when I have the Ecency points to share) - but I was wondering if I could do more for the people that interact with me?

    And so I have come up with an idea that I hope will really work!

    I would like to do a weekly cover request post on the Music Community, where I share 50% of the post rewards in HP with the account that requested the winning cover song in the comments of the previous week's post.

    To get started, I asked my friends on the newly formed "Hive South Africa" community to give me some requests, and what an eclectic bunch of requests they were, many of which I had never heard in my life before, such as songs from old South African bands, 21 Pilots, and even introduction music to Anime shows. Wow I learnt a lot!

    Eventually, for this first edition, I have chosen @pixelhuntersam as the winner! She chose "Toss a Coin to your Witcher" - the first song that the bard sings for Geralt in "The Witcher" series! Here is the original which is made to sound like it's from the middle-ages to go with the TV show:

    But she also suggested I watch this version to see how I could have fun with the song:

    To be honest, I'm actually on a roadtrip for work at the moment, and don't have my normal microphone and amp with me... but I did bring along a guitar and sat myself in the bathroom of the guesthouse I'm staying in to have enough lighting and a small room so that I'd hopefully be loud enough to sing for you.

    This was a challenging song to sing because of the impressive range! I will leave the lyrics down below!

    But first I would like to encourage everybody reading this to think hard and to leave a comment with a cover song that you would like me to try for next Thursday's post? Again, I will share 50% of the post rewards with the account that makes the suggestion I choose - so what do you have to lose?

    Lyrics

    When a humble bard
    Graced a ride along
    With Geralt of Rivia
    Along came this song
    From when the White Wolf fought
    A silver-tongued devil
    His army of elves
    At his hooves did they revel
    They came after me
    With masterful deceit
    Broke down my lute
    And they kicked in my teeth
    While the devil's horns
    Minced our tender meat
    And so cried the Witcher
    He can't be bleat
    Toss a coin to your Witcher
    Oh, Valley of Plenty
    Oh, Valley of Plenty, oh
    Toss a coin to your Witcher
    Oh, Valley of Plenty
    At the edge of the world
    Fight the mighty horde
    That bashes and breaks you
    And brings you to mourn
    He thrust every elf
    Far back on the shelf
    High up on the mountain
    From whence it came
    He wiped out your pest
    Got kicked in his chest
    He's a friend of humanity
    So give him the rest
    That's my epic tale
    Our champion prevailed
    Defeated the villain
    Now pour him some ale
    Toss a coin to your Witcher
    Oh, Valley of Plenty
    Oh, Valley of Plenty, oh
    Toss a coin to your Witcher
    A friend of humanity
    Toss a coin to your Witcher
    Oh, Valley of Plenty
    Oh, Valley of Plenty, oh
    Toss a coin to your Witcher
    A friend of humanity
    Toss a coin to your Witcher
    Oh, Valley of Plenty
    Oh, Valley of Plenty, ah-ah, oh
    Toss a coin to your Witcher
    A friend of humanity
