"Stand by Me" performed by street musicians all over the world
Ok, so I feel like the last person in the world to have seen this, but it's too good not to post, especially at the end of a week in which we've all had the fact that our deaths were imminent because of pig AIDS rammed down our throats by every media outlet under the sun.
A few people have sent this my way over recent days and for whatever reason, I just got around to watching it. It's good. Like, it should win some sort of award, what exactly I'm not sure, but it should be an award-winning piece of filmmaking. To summarize, these guys traveled the globe and recorded street musicians performing Ben E. King's classic, "Stand By Me." It starts off with one guy singing and playing an instrument and just builds and builds and builds as other voices and instruments are infused into the song. And New Orleans, naturally, is represented. Anyway, enjoy...

That was really cool...music is truly the universal language. Thanks for sharing this!
That was awesome, thanks for sharing with us.
Off topic, my husband came home with a box of swine flu provisions given to him by his company - I guess they gave every employee a kit this afternoon - I took a short video of the contents, was going to send to you, but didn't want to clog up your inbox with more paranoia - Crazy!
As someone who has done live recording and sound reinforcement, I have a lot of respect for how well that was put together. Amazing!
What is it with the Cleveland hatred around here!?
Great video, Cajun, thanks for sharing.
@Lucy - what was in the kit apart from face masks?

OMG! Chaz!! I loooove Chaz!! (seriously, everyone should stop what they're doing, go to washboardchaz.com and order all of his cds, they are all GOLD) I think this must be kinda oldish though, I'm pretty sure that Roberto guy got deported back to The Italy more than a year ago. . .

What a bunch of weirdos - if they're so concerned, why not let employees who are able to, work from home..
A friend sent this to me, and I've sent it to everyone I know, and posted it on FB. It really does the heart good, doesn't it? I never tire of watching it. Thanks for broadening the audience.
Think you might find this funny, CB:
