Excuse me if this offends anyone. I am 61 and I am seeing this world go to hell in a hand basket. But then I receive a email like this, and it gives me hope, that maybe, just maybe we will make it, and it might be something as simple as a song. http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2539741

wow thanks for sharing that man. That has always been one of my favorite songs since I was a kid. What a great concept. Thats one of the few good things I have seen come from "globalization".

ROWHARD--- Yes, thank you so much for sharing. The coordination and logistics to pull that off is absolutely mind-blowing, especially considering the many different world "time zones" along with audio/video feeds. Incredible. "AIM HIGH!!!"

That was beautiful. The image of the man dancing in the street with his child made my mascara run. Think how much sweeter the world would be if more people took the time to enjoy the music and dance with their kids.

Got misty...

X 2...even the third time I watched.

There is something about watching the beauty & purity of what CAN be the human spirit, that'll always (I hope) touch me there. :heart:

As an aside, I doubt there was any need for a global linkup, it looks to me as if they remotely recorded all the artists, & then hit the mix.

I also found this one to be very good...now I wanna get me a sitar & try to channel Brian Jones...:smilewink

If you're an "older" Stones fan, at 2:12 you'll see what I mean.

Another gem below...again, THANKS ROWHARD...:thumbup:...:heart:

LDub, thank you for helping keeping this going. Last night when I started this, I sent the link here to all my email buddies, I hope that maybe other's here will do the same, and maybe some of those can help change things, every little bit helps.

No, clicking on the picture won't make anything happen...It's just a picture.:rolleyesg

Thnx Rowhard......Great stuff!

I'm not very musical, but it might be cool to sit around a fire in Moab and do something. Just a thought.

Peace.

Sorry for your loss Anita. Glad this song gave you a smile.

rowhard- That was so refreshing and uplifting. I've been playing several of them and think One Love is my favorite.
Thanks for sharing this song and this site.

I know I'm being redundant Anita, but that' just part of the package...:rolleyesg

Sincere condolences on the passing of your Father, may he rest in peace.
And if you ever just need to talk, you've got my number...:yes:
