This cover of Stand By Me was recorded by completely unknown artists in a street virtual studio all around the world. It all started with a base track—vocals and guitar—recorded on the streets of Santa Monica, California, by a street musician called Roger Ridley. The base track was then taken to New Orleans, Louisiana, where Grandpa Elliott—a blind singer from the French Quarter—added vocals and harmonica while listening to Ridley's base track on headphones.

Very clever. Say it with music! A lot better than Spence's story.

Grandpa Elliot is a fixture in the French Quarter, playing with his grandson on Royal (near St. Ann?) most weekends.
