I cannot take the credit for finding this my friend Blaine Hogan did all the work. I was blown away and think I watched it twelve times in the airport and wanted to share it with you.

I saw this this morning, this is exactly what I needed today. Check out Brooklyn’s P.S. 22 elementary school chorus in New York City; felt it would bring a smile to your face.

I was surfing around this morning and ran across a new video by TK McKamy. The story goes he was in Nashville recently and saw a street-performer tearing it up freestyle on the streets with two cronies and a portable keyboard. So… he decides to give the guy a FREE music video. Check it out.

The last few days got me really thinking about memories… most of my fondest ones come from Christmas. When I think of Christmas, I immediately think of the year my Dad came home to and told my brother and I; Christmas was going to be different that year. Think we both we both were hoping for a the Atari 2600 and pong; links are included if you don’t know what those things are. What my Dad explained to us was he felt he needed to bring happiness to someone’s life at Christmas. We gave everything we had to a family that was poor and about to celebrate there last Christmas with there daughter, who had cancer. We as a family put them up in a hotel for two weeks, got them presents, provided at least three Christmas dinners, and gave them some wonderful memories. It was one of the greatest traditions we have continued to this day, trying to make a difference in someone’s life at Christmas.

So when my friend @loswhit (Carlos Whittaker) point out what happened during his video shoot for his EPK; it made me think about how a simple gesture or song can make a difference in someone’s life. Here is a cut of the behind the scenes of what happened during the shoot… it has to be one of the coolest things i’ve seen in a while… so moving

I was looking for something to stir some creative juices, my synapsis blew up when I ran into this video; hope yours do as well. I’ve watched it about 30 times already trying to figure out how they storyboarded this thing. Amazing.
