You've Got to See This

June 19th 2008 09:29
I saw this great video on YouTube and wanted to share it with fellow Orblers. This video features two musicians who belong to different age groups and live about 2,000 miles apart. They managed to create a video without meeting each other in person. Yup, this is what they call a YouTube collaboration and it came out pretty well. Love the song too!
