If you haven't seen this it is pretty cool. Musician's all over the world collaborating on a sweet version of the Grateful Dead's "Ripple". Uplifting and joyous at a time when the world could use more joy!

Playing for Change is so very brilliant.  Peter recently posted another one of their songs.

This one...  this one brought tears to me eyes.   Really powerful.   More music, less hate.

That was great, thanks!

Good to see David Crosby playing guitar!
The only thing that stays the same is change.

This is so nice, perfect, made my day!
The bass player's function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car... everything else is merely colours.

I've seen a number of their vids, and liked them all - but this one is my favorite!

Ripple is just such a special song, it turns 50 this year and this is a beautiful tribute. I wasn't familiar with the Playing for Change project prior to seeing this but am looking forward to watching a few more of the videos. The one with Bunny Wailer was really good, too, but not as special as this version of Ripple.

If you come across it, check out the one for The Weight, it's pretty good too :)

Yea, the Playing for Change vids are wonderful and Ripple is my favorite too.  You're right Stephen, it is a special song.  At our wedding, my lovely wife Tina walked down the aisle to "Ripple".

Bill, tgo

And not just Bill & Tina; "Ripple" was our recessional as well.
