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.

About 10 years ago, I was standing on a train platform in NYC. I was on my way home from an awful day at work. I was late on my rent, my car had been towed, my bank account was overdrawn, and I had just used the last ride on my MetroCard. I was hungry and I knew I didn't have any food at home. I wouldn't be paid for another 2 days. As I stood on this train platform, a homeless man with a guitar sang this song, tears on his face. I gave him the last $3 in my wallet and stood there on that platform and cried with him. This song will always remind me of that moment.

It’s funny that people in Jamaica, Israel, and wherever else are singing about the tight, heavily wooded, winding roads between mountains and hills in West Virginia when they are in paradises themselves. All are beautiful and the production people and musicians fabulous.

John Denver is surely smiling down from wherever he is.

Google describes 'Playing for Change" as a shared vision between co-founders, Mark Johnson, Raan Williams and Whitney Kroenke. The world needs to know that these great, thoughtful, heart-in-the-right place guys have done a beautiful thing for the world and the musicians. May love always make itself felt in their lives. Well done!!!
