Well as most of you have seen from the "A what would you do question" thread I've just had a whole lot of crap pile on my plate at once here lately (well over the last year or so).

Anyway I was just sent this video link by a friend that found it on another forum. They don't really know all the stuff that has been going on with me but just thought I could use a smile. Well let me tell you it did indeed make me smile. So I thought I would share it with the good folks here. Enjoy.

Yeah I wonder how long it took them to put it together? Going around the world recording all of those performers then syncing everything up just right.

That's why everyone had the headphones. They were playing and/or singing to the tracks already recorded. So there really wasn't any syncing per se except maybe they "slid" a track or two slightly. Logistically, it was amazing, especially since most of the players were street musicians. The first guy was playing at the third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, CA. When I heard it the first time, I really needed the inspiration so thank you for bringing the video to my attention.
