Next month, community organizers of Concord, Calif., hope to lure over 2,000 guitar strummers to their downtown plaza, where they will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for largest guitar ensemble. Right now, Kansas City holds that record, from when local music store Funky Monkey Music enticed 1,721 to show up in a baseball field and play “Smoke on the Water” in June of 2007. The tune of choice for this attempt will be “This Land Is Your Land.”
The event will be held May 8 as part of the community’s “Concord on the Green” environmental fair.
