Looking back in my journal about Larry Gordon led me to this post, April 2023 about a video I was searching for, and the gorgeous Songs Stay Sung.

Here's Zoe Mulford and Windborne, because it is more relevant than ever. It made me cry, in a good way. I hope it resonates for you, too. "Love stays loved, and song stay sung."

I searched again for the video I'd been looking for then, 'child musicians from around the world joint video' and it was the first hit. Check out the young drummer, and all these other amazing young musicians and dancers.

And a similar joint video of adults in Turkey playing Hayde Gidelum in outdoor locations around the country. At the end it says they were inspired by playingforchange.com, who made the previous video.

And a cool making of video for that last one, with out takes.

Oooh...thanks for posting these videos. The third one made me feel like folk dancing and then rocking out afterward at the local. That is to say, nostalgia for my college days.

So glad you enjoyed them! And yay folk dancing. I found that third one because Ahmet Lüleci taught a dance to a different recording of Hayde Gidelum. Here's a video.
