It's All in the Rhythm
It's no secret that I love music. There is something wonderfully primal about the rhythms of a really good song. Of course, I like instrumental compositions as well, percussion, some strings, the tinkling of a keyboard. I enjoy jazz, blues, country, R&B, classical, opera (mainly Italian, especially Puccini); there is no genre in which I haven't found something to like. That's why the video link that my sister sent me made me positively orgasmic. Rather than try to describe it to you, take a listen and experience it for yourself. It's a sort of global symphony of the song, Stand By Me. Don't forget to locate the music player to the left and hit the pause button, then hit the play button on the video below. It's a bit slow to load, for some reason I have to hit the play button twice before it will start.

Ahh, makes the time I'm wasting messing around on the internet this morning all worth it. Thanks.
I saw this before and loved it then- thanks for sharing1
Yes, I've seen this--it's wonderful! Brings a tear to my eye.
Great to hear this again, esp sung this way. Oh yea I had the same trouble with vimeo - thought it was me of course lol. But they're slow to load yet worth it in the big picture, literally. And sound quality.

The song's repetitiveness gets on my nerves, I'm afraid, but the visuals are great. I sent you a link on Facebook to Raul Malo, who I heard the morning on NPR. Just AMAZING.
