‘Vertigo’ in New Orleans - Music Rising Video

Stumbled across this great little video on YouTube. It’s a promo for the Music Rising charity that was founded by The Edge (U2) and Gibson Guitars. They are doing really good things with the funds that they are raising. Phase one was to get instruments into the hands of professional musicians who had lost them as a result of the Katrina flooding. Phase two, which started just recently, is focused on providing instruments to churches (such as organs and pianos) and grade schools. They don’t accept donations of instruments (they do not have enough staff to handle restoration and distribution of instruments) however. They work with other organizations such as Mr Holland’s Opus Foundation to manage that type of donation.

Check out this video of The Edge and some New Orleans musicians doing a rendition of Vertigo. It is quite entertaining.
