    You can strip a man of everything he owns, but you'll never take away his talent!

    Man what a gorgeous sight to see someone who’s had bad luck but kept the music. I hope someone bought him a warm meal for sharing this beauty with us all.

    This man is a veteran. He served in the marines. Its sad to see how bad our veterans get treated after serving but still yet find a escape no matter the situation. God bless him. I hope he got his life together and dies a happy man.

    WOW! Glad to know that he has now turned his life around, now has a record deal, is back in contact with his son, finished his college degree in music, and is Lucindale in Germany making music.

    I use to work in a homeless shelter. I had a guy there who use to play piano during the chapel services. He sounded like Mozart. Everyone has a story.

    Sometimes the most beautiful piece of music is played by the most extraordinary person. He gives the music a soul.

    Absolutely beautiful. I don’t know what caused him to be homeless. He should definitely be given a hand up.❤️
