19-Oct-01 - Musicians lend Red Cross a 'Hand'
In the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks, twenty-two singers, songwriters and musicians banded together and collaborated over the internet to write and record an anthem of worldwide unity and healing. Participants from eight different countries took part in this amazing effort that resulted in the release of "Take My Hand (A Better World)" by a group who now calls themselves the Independent Artist Coalition. All proceeds from this effort will benefit the American Red Cross.
The brainchild of a Mobile, Alabama emergency room physician named Ben Marble of the band Dr. O, "Take My Hand" was made possible by a group of people who by and large have never met face to face. Each person added their contribution, which was then expertly mixed and produced by husband and wife team Håkan "Zap" Andersson and Catarina "Nina" Andersson of Eskilstuna, Sweden.
"Take My Hand (A Better World)" is available for free download along with more information about the project history and participant biographies at the group's official website, http://www.mp3Charity.com
