Keith in 'Wave to the World"????

There is a new vid up at youtube.com starring our one and only Keith among other famous country singers like Dolly Parton, vince gill, charlie daniels. bj thomas, chely wright to name a few.  It is totally awesome, not the best quality but was supposedly made for the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney Australia.  If anyone has a clearer copy I would be willing to trade something for it or pay for it even.  Check it out:

Is there anyway to save this to computer so it could be put on a DVD? I would be willing to pay for a copy also.
Thanks for sharing it, it's great

CAN'T SEEM TO SAVE IT?...and I have a tube account

(by the way.. I am not sure.. but I believe that Keith may have co written that song, and I believe it was him that organized this event, of bringing all the country singers together to do this song)

I also noticed that it included lee kernigan...( australian country star)

and if you hear dolly say afterwards.. is that it?... come sing on my record...and you hear keith laugh....
and he did return the favour in the end , didn't he?... heheheh

how adorable....see in the front row that a koala and kangaroo is being held......
and aren't they inspiring lyrics....  have always loved this song...
and tried so hard in the past to get the album, the only way you could buy the album was through the paraolympics site... and like I said, I got no replies when I made enquires in the past.. so it is a rare album , and hard to get a hold of....

I did some research on this today and apparently the two songs for the Sydney paralympics  2000 were only recorded just a week or so out of the beginning of the games.  Therefore they're were ever only 1000 copies made and distributed of this song.  They didn't have time then to promote the song properly.

Loved this video.

This venture took quite a bit of money, and at the end zero was donated to the SPOC.

Games were held:  18 - 29 October 2000.

Per the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games - Post Games Report

"Wave to the World" Project

In early 1998, SPOC was approached by an Australian music company, "Cool Change International", with a proposal to produce and distribute internationally a compilation CD and contribute a large percentage of the profits to the Paralympic Games.


An agreement was finalised in September 1999 to produce and sell worldwide a double music CD and contribute a large percentage of the profits to the Games. Cool Change believed that this would help raise the profile of the Paralympic Movement through the association of some of the world's best-known recording artists and celebrities.

The strategies developed included:

•   seek a sponsor or investor, willing to underwrite the costs involved (AUD$2.5 million) in production and distribution of the CD, in return for receiving exclusive rights

•   negotiate production of the product with Sony Records

•   solicit donations of existing and new tracks from some of the world's best recording artists

•   enlist the support of well-known celebrities to act as spokespersons

•   negotiate distribution of the product worldwide

•   establish an independent trustee to distribute profits (after recoupment of the investment) according to an agreed percentage distribution.

The results included:

•   an underwritten investment for less than half of the budgeted amount was made by a private businessman

•   although "Cool Change" succeeded in engaging the support of artists, celebrities and their managements, Sony Records would not sign an agreement to produce the CD and Universal Records was subsequently approached

•   two new songs (one Country music song "Wave to the World" and a popular song "Spirit of Life" were written. The recording of the two songs in the "All-Star Cast" style resulted in extra time being needed to complete the CDs and a huge blow-out of costs

•   final production wasn't completed until late September 2000, after which sleeves were printed and a sample run of CDs manufactured

•   as a result, the project was too late to leverage any promotion, even off the Paralympic Games themselves. At the end of the Games only 1000 CDs had been sold, the investor lost his money and no contribution was made to SPOC.

The fellow who posted this video at youtube is Clark Graff in California who was actually an editing director on this when it was made.  I'm sure he'd love to read your positive comments about this video so please post them at youtube.  Thanks very much!

Shaz and KUhappy .. thank you for the background ... this is what I always believed and thought, but was really glad that you confirmed my thoughts on all of this, as it was 6 years ago and so much has happened with Keith, sometimes its difficult for me to recall things 100% correctly.. so the fact you researched it , was very helpful.. thanks....

How did I miss this one, this was awesome, thanks for posting

Absolutely beautiful and very inspiring--I tried to save it and couldn't--I have a youtube account also.  If you find a way we can save it, please let us know.  I'd heard it was a great event and a wonderful song, and now that I finally got to have it, I would love to have the video.

Greetings, I hope some of you still care about this. I am the editor of that project and I have a version of the video in quicktime format that looks much better but You Tube compresses the stuff pretty hard. If anyone has an FTP that they would like me to upload it to I would be very happy to do so.
I am very pleased that you all enjoyed the video as much as the Direct Lane Shefter and I had making it.
