I actually met him and he is so humble. A sweet man he kept me company and offered me a seat with him when I got stranded in Florida. I'm forever grateful to this man. He welcome me and my dog kindly and respectfully. I only spent 12hrs with him but I didn't feel stranded anymore I felt welcome. Every chance I get I check on Mr. Franklin. A man with a harmonica and a heart❤
I love it. Sometimes, we need to be reminded to enjoy the simple things in life. Such as, music’s universal effect to captivate and unite passionate people, and it’s way of soothing the soul.
@@RailfanLAno no no no. It's Hohner Marine Band harmonica. I have several. Hohner is the brand name, and Marine Band is one of their higher end lines of harps.
Listen to sonny boy williamson II if you think he’s playing like a pro. I’m not hating though. It’s very heartwarming to see somebody do something they love.
@@jerkyboy8897 I am giving him a break lol. He plays better than most people I know but saying he plays like a pro is wild. Although I love to see people doing something they are passionate about. Especially something music related..
@@DexterTheMethOrphannI agree he sounded like a toddler playing a harp but at the end it sounded like he started playing orange blossom special so who knows
@@pete5516 Bro muscle memmory is what makes it possible for us to learn complex shit, imagine having to think about everything you do, the brain naturally turn things into automatic so it can think about the next thing
That’s a wonderful gift to give him. Music brings a spark back into people’s lives, and I can attest to this personally. I played guitar and bass since I was 12 years old, but I stopped playing in my mid 20’s because of an ongoing severe drug and alcohol addiction that lasted until about 4 and a half years ago. I got sober and picked the guitar back up as a healthy hobby I could use to pass my free time. It has helped me in so many indescribable ways, but it has mainly helped keep me sober. I’m a much better player than I ever was when I was younger and I have a hell of a lot more fun when I play! Music really is a magical and special thing. Peace be with you all. ❤
Music is joy, if I had nothing and someone brought me an instrument (even one I couldn't play) I'd be very happy, it is something to occupy you and music is always fun! Being able to play a tune is an opportunity to busk rather than beg too, which will make your position better as people are ore likely to appreciate music than begging. A recorder, harmonica or melodica are ideal instruments for portability, easy to play a basic tune with minimal practice, but give you something you could spend years mastering!
I know Franklin personally and he's such an amazing person thank you for blessing him with a harmonica and letting him express his love for harmonica again!! ❤
As harsh as that sounds it’s a reality of this poor man’s life. Until he begins to respect himself and at least get some sort of a hold on his life that harp is just another opportunity to purchase more of what the only thing he lives for now and that’s to feed that addiction that is running and ruining his life at this moment. Playing the harmonica is by no means an easy feat. It takes lots of dedication ,investment and time. And to loose such a gift to drugs and alcohol is such a waste of human life. Thank you Joe Biden for helping this poor man loose everything he ever had and worked for .
@@josephsullivan1760really assuming a whole lot there, guy. You have no clue why he's homeless, let alone that he went homeless during this administration. It's not always drugs and alcohol that makes people homeless.
@@josephsullivan1760you're such a Pharisee you will have to answer for your judgments make sure the logs out of your eye before you try and pull the splinter out of someone else's may God soften your heart and make you meek with respect for another's life all glory to the most high God🙌
My grandpa played the harmonica and this was a beautiful reminder.. he left us 15years ago and the tears I cried from this man’s joy in harmonicas was a beautiful thing. Thank u for spreading kindness and sharing with us❤
I really try to never judge and I catch myself when I do. You never know what someone has been through, the challenges they faced, the circumstances they had growing up, who was there for them or not there for them, etc. I share this with my teen daughters as well. I once met a homeless gentleman that I would help out with cash every now and then and asked him to share his story with me. He was once a CHEF, husband, father and alcohol took over everything. He would read at least 1-3 books per week. Extremely smart and thoughtful with all of his words. He once wrote me a recipe for one of his special salads 🥗 and homemade dressing, when he handed me the recipe, I looked at it then looked over at him and asked him who wrote this ? He said, I did DUMMY! 😂 I couldn’t believe his handwriting. ( Best Salad Ever) It was 100% one of the neatest I have ever seen in my life. I was shocked and really didn’t know what to say. RIP My friend, CHEF RICHARD. 👨🍳
It breaks my heart to see raised sweet man homeless. He's about the same age as my Father and NOONE should be homeless at this (or any) age. I wish he had a permanent home. He's such a gentle soul.
I gave a friend a harp...he was so happy, he blew that thing most of his shift...his lips were raw the next day lol...as time passes he got better ... I showed him some licks, and he kept himself entertained...but that first introduction was the best, like a kid getting his first puppy 😊
When I sit and watch these videos u have to wonder . U never know how u may end up so be kind and give too people when u can show love and most of all thank god for see other day 🙏🇹🇹
Wow, I can tell that Franklin is a super cool guy! It is a shame to think that some people might overlook that based on his circumstances and never give him a chance. I love his style- the suit that he's wearing, all of his gadgets tucked into his jacket pocket, and how very talented he is at playing the harmonica. Thank you for helping him and for giving us the opportunity to get to know him through your channel. ♥️
Humble & grateful! Wonderful qualities rarely seen in humanity anymore. GOD'S BLESSINGS TO HIM & ALL WHO DONATE! Not all of us are able, but vids bring great joy & compassion!
This guy (Franklin) can actually play. I mean...I can sit & listen to him perform. Now, the person, who blessed Franklin, with that "mouth-organ" harmonica. May the Lord bless you; in a special way! p.s. Franklin, might produce some $ with it! ✊🏿 Min. Obie Amos.
Franklin killin it on the harmonica!!!
Looks like you just brought a lot of joy back into his life!
😢 made me cry he was happy over his harmonica
@Tyler Goins Franklin rocks! Love in Jesus Franklin my brother! ❤❤❤
Столько счастья в глазах старика...🎉❤
Yes killin it
He's so happy❤❤
Watching his face light up when he saw the harmonica has made my week❤
Sameeee!~ JESUS LOVES YOU

Como lo busco hay
mas videos de el ?
What a flex, meeting this sweet man
Thank you for checking in on him. That not so little gesture goes incredibly far…for him AND you,❤❤❤❤
When I see someone, I always think about their childhood, their dreams, the friends they played with, and the things they learned.
What a wonderful way to view the world ❤
Alright demon slayer
"MARINE BAND! THAT'S THE BEST ONE!"
The happiness in his voice is wonderful
I love it. Sometimes, we need to be reminded to enjoy the simple things in life. Such as, music’s universal effect to captivate and unite passionate people, and it’s way of soothing the soul.
Sad how the talents of people go unforeseen merely because of status
That not MARINE BAND its MARINE BRAND. Its a brand. By the way he was really very happy.
@@RailfanLAno no no no. It's Hohner Marine Band harmonica. I have several. Hohner is the brand name, and Marine Band is one of their higher end lines of harps.
@@garyhighley9022 okay I understand, sorry for the wrong information😅
He plays like a pro 😊
That's cause he is.
Listen to sonny boy williamson II if you think he’s playing like a pro. I’m not hating though. It’s very heartwarming to see somebody do something they love.
This man isn't no youngster and his lungs are probably a little bit worse for wear. Give him a break.

Allowing musician to play their favourite instrument after a while is always a beautiful moment.
muscle memory.. he probs havent played om years.. decades..
he didnt even blink.. nor hesitate. and played that shi so gooood!
It is not muscle memory, he just remembers and knows what he’s doing. Acting like musicianship is just muscle memory is close minded
@@pete5516 Bro muscle memmory is what makes it possible for us to learn complex shit, imagine having to think about everything you do, the brain naturally turn things into automatic so it can think about the next thing
@@pete5516 I took the original comment as complimenting Franklin, not discounting him or his playing. Muscle memory is wild!
He's dressed with pride. You made him very happy.😊
That harmonica brought me great memories my grandpa used to play music 🎵🎶 on it 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
Mine did too!❤
@@shalomsister yes it's a very stereotypical grandpa thing.
Same here 😊
It’s so sad seeing so many elders on the street
What do you expect from that 3rd world country called USA?
He lit up when he saw that harmonica! ❤
He’s such a nice looking man 😢 his skills do truly show. I wish the best for him ❤
That's how you make someone's day special.
Marine Band that’s the best one indeed.😊
You made his day I can tell he’s good with the harmonica.

Fantastic. He went straight into it. ❤😊

Does he still have it or did he sell it?
