About Playing for Change
What began as a PBS documentary with the lofty goal of fostering hope and inspiration through music has now become a worldwide phenomenon. Inspired by the passion and energy of street musician Roger Ridley’s rendition of “Stand by Me,” Grammy award winning producer Mark Johnson set out across the globe on one of the most incredible journeys in modern music: Playing For Change.
Johnson traveled the world, recording and filming street musicians of different faiths, backgrounds, and ethnicities, then blended their contributions into one unified and moving performance. Many of these artists would never actually meet, but their talents and passion were brought together in song. Johnson explains the process as “layering musicians on top of each other. They could all hear whatever had come before them, and then they could find a way to make their track something that was more of a universal song.”

Hi Alisa & Chris,
I want to join the carpool especially since we are traveling down Highway 17 during rush hour.
I can pick you up Alisa if you live in Mtn. View, Sunnyvale, or Santa Clara. Then we can carpool to Chris's.
I have the day off. Where do I meet you Chris? You can e-mail me directly at MotownJohn1@yahoo.comPosted March 6 at 2:35 PM -
