Let's Take This Video Viral!!!!

I received an email with a link to this music video in it.  After watching it three times I am still getting goosebumps.  Today, rather than a blog of my own ideas, I want to share someone else's.  Kudos to the person or team behind this concept, kudos to their hard work and more than anything kudos to the final product.  For anyone who loves street muscians, live music in it's purist form, it is a joy to listen to.  This is the intro that came with the email.

Below is a link to one of the best pieces of sound engineering you are likely to hear.  This is a video of street singers from around the world being recorded, overlayed and mixed with one another while singing the song "Stand By Me".  It is fabulous to listen to and watch - they all deserve to be heard. The finished product is tremendous!

I am more than proud to share with you - Stand By Me!!!!
