Come Together cover whyhunger.org

Here is an excerpt of “Come Together” arranged by Randy Waldman. If you are not already aware of this project, this was put together by Dom Famularo, Russ Miller and Brian Resnick to benefit world hunger. I was asked to contribute along with many others. (the list is long and impressive!!) Since I didn’t know what they would use, I played the whole arrangement and sent it on for them to take what they wanted. It was such a challenge trying to navigate this all in one take (because the new way of recording is that everybody wants VIDEO!! no punching in- grrrrrrr) so I thought I would share…..here is my take, (played with the midi tracks that were replaced later) warts and all!!!
Here is the link to the final complete version with all the players. Hats off to Russ for editing and mixing the final. Must have been a ton of work!!!
