Playing for Change

Face it. . . it really is true that you can lead a horse to water but can't make him drink. In this case, the horse is Walker. Holt and I recently watched a Bill Moyers interview with Mark Johnson, the producer of the "Playing for Change: Peace through Music" documentary. It both moved and inspired me; reinstated some faith in humanity. Naturally, I sent the link to Walker knowing how interested he would be. . . oh well, must be an old woman thing. Perhaps you are interested. . . for the old women, here's the Bill Moyers interview link with the story and the video. . .

For others, the "cut to the chase" folks, here's a YouTube link to one of the Playing for Change videos, (Stand by Me).

By the way,"Playing for Change: Peace though Music" is the second film directed by Mark Johnson and Jonathan Walls. Their previous film, titled Playing for Change: A Cinematic Discovery of Street Music was released in 2005, and is currently available through Netflix.
