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
Thank You Row...
That brought a very large, & much needed smile to my face.
If that is offensive to anyone, please send me your street address & I'll send help...:laughgray
thank ya Ldub, I have re-played this maybe 10 times now, it gives me hopeQuote:

Yes, thank you for sharing! Swinging by their site (playingforchange.com), you can find a few more songs they have done... Nice and Calming as well. 99
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.
I too am 61years young, and that gives me hope .
X 2...even the third time I watched.Quote:

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.

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.Quote:

I figure, with exposure like that, world peace should be upon us in just a matter of days...:yes:
No, clicking on the picture won't make anything happen...It's just a picture.:rolleyesg
nice, ive been showing everyone i know lol... ;)
Nice I actually was listening to a cd with a version of that song on it when I clicked the link, good stuff.
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.

Me too, I saw one of my fellow security officers "get a little misty"...Quote:

Rowhard, thanks for sharing this. I lost my dad this week and the video brought a much needed smile to my face. :o Music is universal and timeless.
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...:rolleyesgQuote:
