I know everyone's already seen this

I've watched it myself, just about every day for the past 3 weeks or so since Scott sent me a link. It's a smile maker, for sure. I love the music - it's just so perfect. The tune was written by Gary Schyman who is a friend of Matt (dancing guy), the words are a Bengali poem called Stream of Life by Rabindranath Tagore sung by 17 year old Bangladesh native, now Minneapolis resident Palbasha Siddique. Smile. You can't help it.
If you go to YouTube, search for user mattharding2718. He's got outtakes, and other videos too. Apparently this is viral advertising, sponsored by Stride Gum. Know what? Don't care. In fact, I'd WAY rather see this, and would buy Stride Gum if it meant I didn't have to ever watch those insipid dirty mouth Orbit commercials again. Fabulous!

Cool. We have played at the park in Atlanta a few time.

I just saw part of it for the first time yesterday, it's pretty cool.

I agree regarding the Orbit commercial, I just may go BUY a pack of this gum just to spite Orbit!

Thanks for sharing, loved seeing the whole piece.

I hadn't seen that at all before - and I agree with you about the music - just great!
