    My grandfather was a professional violinist in his days, and played until the day he passed. He had this look that came over him when he was transported by his music. You can see it on these musicians' faces as well. I love that look. Just lost to the sounds, feeling it with all of their souls. It's the sure sign of a true artist.

I feel really, really good viewing this video and seeing all the places and all the musicians playing at different times; from other locations. In my honest opinion, this is an excellent video and it does have a message.

      I love the original by Otis Redding, especially knowing that this was his last recording just 3 days before he passed away in a plane crash.
      But, I particularly tend to come to this wonderful and beautifully put together rendition by these talented artists from around the globe so many times for many years now while relaxing on the patio deck at night, cooking barbecue having a few, or just in bed watching some RUclips like I'm doing now before getting ready for work.
      I'd like to send you a couple more lovely feel good songs of "good music, from good people."
      Hope you enjoy, and have a nice and safe weekend!
