Shaka Mitchell and The Come Together Music Project

Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. So a few weeks ago, I get an email from a guy named Shaka Mitchell who said in the first sentence, “ Hey James, I wanted to circle back in case my earlier email slipped through the cracks…..” He went on to say, “My greatest privilege has been creating settings where people from all walks of life can come together and truly hear one another.” What the heck? I thought. What did I miss and where’s the email?  Turns out the original one went to my Spam folder. Holy cow! I had to have this guy on!  I replied to his email, apologized for missing the first one or two and invited him to come on as a guest. He agreed and luckily for me, here he is. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

After you listen, let me know what you think of Shaka. As I said when speaking to him, I think the Come Together Music Project is absolute genius. Why on earth hasn’t anyone thought of this before? We get so caught up in the online comments and nasty stuff, that we tend to forget that we have more in common with each other than we realize. And that’s regardless of race, gender, religion and especially the bottomless pit of politics. Human beings are so much more than that. We’re all in this together and it takes people like Shaka to remind us of this. I’d like to thank Shaka for coming on the show and I really hope that he comes on again. 

I highly recommend the you check out The Come Together Music Project on YouTube. You won't regret it.

So unitl next time, take care of one antoher, talk to one another, and treat each other the way you want to be treated. And as always, thanks for listening.
