Playing For Change

This is just an awesome story. I can't do it justice in a blog. You'll just have to go check out the story and videos.

But there are two quotes related to it that I really liked:

The act of playing music with people of different cultures, religions, economics and politics is a powerful statement. It shows that we can find ways of working together and sharing our experiences with one another in a positive way. Music has the power to break down the walls between cultures, to raise the level of human understanding. ~ Mark Johnson, founder, Playing for Change

I've been connected in a lifetime with 2 universal languages: laughter and music.~ Norman Lear

Either this is a really moving video or I'm PMS'ing because it made me cry.
