Celebration of Diversity and of our huge/small World - For everyone's enjoyment

[Mira]

Below is a link to one of the best pieces of sound engineering work I think I have ever heard or seen. It is a composite audio/video of song whereby additional tracks were laid in by different singers and musicians from different places around the world. The finished product is tremendous!
Worth every second - turn up the sound and tap your toes !
The song itself is that classic standard "Stand By Me" originally released in 1955 by The Staple Singers and released again in 1961 by the Drifters.

Reminds me of "One World, One Voice" which used to be available on Youtube. Not sure if it still is, but well worth seeking out if you can find it.

19. it is especially meaningful

when thinking about how human beings could come together if it weren't for the profit and warmongers like the bushes, cheneys, and rumsfelds who seek to divide us and make us kill one another for reasons that relate to financial profit for them and those whom they represent.

I loved this. Thank you so very much for posting it.

And the people like Rush Limbaugh, who make some of us want to hate others because they need a helping hand from others who do well in this capitalist system.

I loved this. Thank you so very much for posting it.

25. Bill Moyers had Mark Johnson on his program the man behind the production

Mark Johnson is the co-director of a remarkable documentary about the simple but transformative power of music: "Playing for Change: Peace Through Music."

Transcript here, if anyone is interested: http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/12052008/transcript3.html


It is a excellent interview about how Mark traveled the world bringing music to everyone and how music connects cultures.
