Once again, my friend Jill came through with another good find. She sent this along a while back and as much as I loved the video I just hadn’t gotten around to posting it. Yesterday though, I was listening to an NPR podcast when a story about this very project popped up and I couldn’t help but be inspired once again.

Producer Mark Johnson heard a musician named Rodger Rigley playing ‘Stand by me’ on the streets of Santa Monica CA one afternoon. He was so inspired by the mans voice and the the song that he asked if he could come back with a camera and some recording equipment to capture him playing. Johnson took this first recording and morphed it into a collection of street musicians from all over the world playing the same song together. All connected though a single song. It’s a beautiful thing.
