    Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band-a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation-a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.

    Grandpa Elliott (born Elliot Small; July 10, 1944 - March 8, 2022), also
    known as Uncle Remus, was a veteran street-musician in New Orleans,
    Louisiana.He's now singing on the STREETS PAVED WITH GOLD. God rest his
    soul...

    One cannot find a better interpretation than Granpa Elliott with this renowned spiritual, very much in the New Orleans vibe and of its significant meaning, pre Civil War. Great work by the Playing for Change group. I for one am now supporting them directly. Thank you for the music of binding us together world-wide.
