Recommended Posts

A friend emailed this video to me a few months ago. Here's the back story:
"...Film-maker Mark Johnson traveled around the globe getting street musicians and others to record part of the track for "Stand By Me."
Using battery powered equipment and a pocket full of Frequent Flier miles he got tracks from dozens of performers.
Each one was able to wear headphones and hear what the other performers had done..."

I have seen some out takes from some of the early stuff they did, and it was hilarious.
I hope it dont turn up on you tube - that would not be good.
