Beautiful Like This (Farmer's Tribute) - Rachel Epp

Singer Rachel Epp http://www.twitter.com/RachelEpp at Caffe Vivaldi wanted to support Farm Aid with her song Beautiful Like This.

http://twitter.com/NYFarmer wanted to soundtrack farming photos after seeing a video about Caffe Vivaldi where Rachel works.

Got inspired to make this video mixing photos by @NYFarmer with photos of farms where I live....photos of farms 400 miles apart.

Farm Aid started as a benefit concert on September 22, 1985, in Champaign, Illinois, where I was born, to raise money for farmers.

The first concert was organized by Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Neil Young for 80,000 people. Congress subsequently passed the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 to help save family farms from foreclosure:

Dave Matthews who in recent years has been part of Farm Aid just happened to be in in town on Randall's Island where @ElewRockjazz was opening while I was in New York City. I took it as a sign to do this.

The calf just born on the moonlit meadow is named Celeste.
