Al of the videos are outstanding!!!!!!!Thank you Red eagle drum group,as i have Native American blood,and everyone that sang and played is definitely making a difference.I watch the videos over and over, all of you are great artists!!!!!!! Deanne Costello, Indiana, USA
Amazing! I loved this movie. I watched this video a lot of time. It`s one of my favorite videos. We need peace in the world, because we are brothers. Pedro - from Brazil.
Everyone must watch AND listen to this! Spread the word! We certainly will in our own little corner of the world. Music is Power for Peace in the World!
That is my Grandpa, not my biological grandfather, but my Grandpa just the same. He taught me the ropes as a new street artist there in Pirates' Alley in New Orleans, and taught my daughter many things about her instrument. He gives 24/7. Grandpa is as wonderful a person as he is a musician!
This is something truly, truly beautiful and a perfect example of the director's point that music can bring us all together and inspire us to be better than we are.
1. Your reading my comment 2. Now your saying/thinking thats a stupid fact. 4. You didnt notice that i skipped 3. 5. Your checking it now. 6. Your smiling. 7. Your still reading my comment. 8. You know all you have read is true. 10. You didnt notice that i skipped 9. 11. Your checking it now. 12. You didnt notice there are only 10 facts Copy and paste to 1 video for fun..ivan('',)
These are the talented ppl who should go for American Idol or the Britans got talent....People who sing their hearts out for that it touches every other heart around them...Beautiful...Ya I agree 82 mage, the singer from Netherland was did a very touching performance...Amazing...Made my day...= )
It's Amazing the emotion that the singer from Netherlands sings with he really is singing his heart out. Also I love how much emotion the violin and saxophone give to the song, you never hear it like that anywhere else, it just adds so much its unreal!
My 72 yr old dad sent me this and it is by far the best gift he has ever given me. I tear almost every time I watch it and in the 3 days I have had this I have watched it about 15 times. I so love it that I ordered it immediately. It is so awesome to see musicians from around the world playing for change. Beautiful. I love it. Thank you so much, Autumn
We people should get a gun and kill ourself since this song got 82000 views and avril songs got over 100,00,00 views...seriously our world is going nowhere...

I just learned from my brother who works in a restaurant in the French Quarter...New Orleans...that Grandpa Elliot is without his sight (blind). What he lacks in sight he makes up for with the musical picture he paints. I will be in N. O. in the spring and help Grandpa Elliot all I can and I hope everyone will do the same!Grandpa Elliot...What an inspiration! Thanks!
I am a 51 year old musician,I've seen a few videos. Never,Never have I seen so much heart in one video.I watch this video daily hoping we all get to the place these guys are.I will be in New Orleans in the spring and I WILL stand by Grandpa Elliot for a picture and make a donation...I only wish I could see them all and thank them for the hope they give me.
I feel the same way i got to get to New orleans and give grampa Elliot a big hug this spring. Hopefully we're getting the world together the way it was suppose to be.
This is a real America to me. 8 years of America be disliked from the world with that Bush policies, but for sure America has a right people like Mark Johnson and Jonathan Walls to realize this beautiful project around the world. Great people!
OMGosh,Thank you so much. This hard hearted old broad was crying at this beautiful intermix of nationalities. Music and art are truly universal connectors and ... this really did it for me. There just are not words great enough to describe this. Now, let's tap the street singers from other countries who play instruments we do not know the names of but still touch our souls.
Every time I see and hear it again, there is more substance. The thing is, they are in sync. Maybe one sang in November and one played in August, one in Italy and another in New Mexico, but the music holds them together across time and space. Amazing.
I have listened and watched this video a dozen times and it still fills my heart with love for everyone in the world........great job putting it together
great video and even better message Music is one of the most unique arts that touches all "who listen" even casually.. and sometimes common emotion that touches us all..(smile)
My 82 year old mom saw this on Bill Moyer's show yesterday, and today couldn't stop talking about it. It really impressed her. She didn't understand how these musicians all over the World could sing in sync like this. It is a very beautifull musical composition. I would like to hear more songs like this.
G'day Mate, Did you read the comment carefully, the woman in question is 82 yrs old. How many 82 yr olds do you know who would even know about mixing it down later. Maybe a little bit of compassion would go a lot further than smug clever know it all comments, but then again that's the problem with todays society so many people have no heart and have forgotten how to feel even a little bit for our fellow man. Nat.
You might have just as well said "His mom is 82 and has lived in the city all her life - how do you expect her to know that milk comes from cows and not from supermarket?"
I'm quite certain that his mother knows of VCRs and other devices for recording and later playback. You don't have to know how the mixing and editing process goes to understand that videos are not made at the same time.
I going to try and remove your inconsiderate comments from this video. It just spoils the entire purpose of this video and brings so much negativity to this beautiful feeling everyone with your "knowledge". Spare us please
