The Power of Music

I saw this on Jean's, one of my brand new visitors, blog yesterday
and it was a very fitting that she posted it just after the election.
Music is so universally unifying. Listen to this guy's wonderful
montage and just see if you can do it without smiling. Have a great
weekend, dear bloggy friends!

    Wow! Very powerful.

    Thanks for following my blog! I am so glad!

    Hello Willow,

    Quite apart from the beautiful music I am in awe of the skill needed to put this sort of montage together and the hours of work to create a short clip.

    Thanks.
