all the Grandma Shirleys...

I love this. Music is a - if not THE - bridge.

As my mother's battle with dementia is quickly coming to it's end, I happen to find this special version of Playing for Change's "One Love". Looking at your grandmother, she and my mother could have been sisters they look so much alike. Thank you for sharing this!! Singing along with the video, It was almost as if I were getting to sing one last time with my own mother... Something I would do anything to be able to do again. Thank you for sharing this... You will never know just how much it

@ruffnruggd Am touched by your comments. Glad my mother gave you some happy memories to cherish. Am trying to share this video around a bit for National Alz month...november.

that was beautiful! and i love that you left the end with "can we go inside now?"

hugs to grandma

@ShawnLandersz

We couldn't have planned that one. If you listen carefully earlier Mom says, "oh,, look at the squirrel!" I should have oomphed up the sound there. and could have cut in shots of squirrel...

Playing for change and grandma Shirley simply warm my heart and bring tears to my eyes!

[CarolJWright]

Thank you. I am glad PFC hasn't removed the video. I wrote them and told them about it. Perhaps we'll film Stand by Me too, though the garden is a bit less comfortable.

Wow! My heart had already been touched when you originally released "One Love". Now, you managed to bring new emotions with an old song. Awesome! It touched me so much that I cried. Keep up the good work! and tell Grandpa that Tammy in Natchez said that I hear that he's now bigger than Elvis! Love to all.

I am not Playing for Change, the originator of the One Love song. I am a video hobbiest who had the wild idea to film my mother (who has Alz) and my niece Wendy into one of the PFC songs. This took a lot of equipment, figuring how to make an editable video of One Love, learning "multi-camera" on Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9, filming (in one take!), then getting it all to work in editing. At one point, the two film widths didn't match, but fixed it. Ack! Glad you were touched. Please share it.

Piekna idea i przecudne wykonanie. To czyni mnie choc na troche lepszym i przypomina ze jestesmy RODZINA - Ludzmi.

Wendy,

So beautiful and heart warming - sing on Grandma - with tears in my eyes and a smile in my heart.....We are One Love.

[scaasi]

Ahhh, such a wonderful feel good version of one of THE most loved songs of all time,

Playing For Change is the coolest, most inspiring things to happen in years.

I absolutely love this program

[CarolJWright]

Thanks, Wendy pulled her along on the experience, and it was a blast to make (challenging for my limited experience using Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9, one of the few low priced programs to offer true multicamera).
