Peace Through Music: Playing for Change

Okay, it's been six weeks since last I wrote here, so I thought I'd get back into the fray with something positive.

We recently received a link to an old music video produced by Playing for Change, "Stand By Me."  Getting it reminded me of just how much I like the organization that created it.  Playing for Change (PFC) gets musicians from around the world-- some well-known, some street buskers, some known only locally --to play together, one-at-a-time, and then to get the music "out there" for the world to hear.  PFC also raises funds to build a music school and arts center in South Africa, and to repair and renovate Tibetan refugee centers in India and Nepal.   Watch the video below to learn more. And then, enjoy the two music videos that follow it:
