When these three friends got together, their Music turned into MAGIC. The collaboration of their musical talents, lead them to this AWESOMEVIDEO. And a new Awareness of how just a THOUGHT, can change Things in, The World Of Music. That Art and Passion comes from Within the Human Soul.
And with the Magic of the Internet this was possible.
This is how Matthew Jordan stated the video came about;
“Just finished another brand-new collab video – and this one was especially fun to put together!
Two of my very best YouTube buddies, Chris Commisso (http://www.youtube.com/thepianoshack) and Matt Bednarsky (http://www.youtube.com/MattCB273) approached me with the idea of collaborating on a video. These guys are two of my favorite musicians on YouTube, so of COURSE I jumped at the chance to work with them!
Together, the three of us covered an absolute CLASSIC – “The Longest Time” by Billy Joel. And I even got a little dressed up for this one. Let me know what you think of the fedora… could be a new look for me! Haha 😉
This was another production made possible by the magic of the internet. I’m in California, Chris is in Arizona and Matt B. is in Nashville. Yet here we all are, on the same screen… and we never even set foot in the same room while recording. Isn’t technology awesome? LOL.”
