Playing for Change

May 7th, 2009 by Lior Shamir

The story behind this video begins in Santa Monica, CA, where street musician, Roger Ridley, lays down the rhythm guitar and lead vocal tracks for the beginning of a musical journey spanning the globe.  New Orleans, LA, is the next stop where Grandpa Elliot adds second verse vox.  We find ourselves in Amsterdam for the third stanza with the backing of musical allies in France and Brazil.  The virtual procession reaches troubadours in Russia, South Africa and Venezuela and doesn’t resolve until every note of “Stand By Me” has been spoken for, courtesy of Playing for Change.
