cool song by a homeless guy, but how the heck did he get that guitar? choices, i guess, huh? :)



btw, i was working on learning this song - pretty simple one really - my latest thoughts were to have a mix of finger picking and strumming ...

i've always liked this song

Everyone has their priorities. He probably had the guitar since before he became homeless, and is in love with his guitar, as many of us are. He'd probably rather starve than get rid of his guitar. Plus he can make some money with it. Then again maybe he stole it.

If this was a true homeless person you can bet he would have hawked that guitar the very first instant he could. No street guy is going to haul around a guitar like that and risk losing it. Not happenin'

Soooooooo, I guess the homeless guy would have pawned the Taylor and bought a Cole Clark, huh? :laugh:

i'm thinking the folks who put this show on may have loaned him the guitar.
on the other hand, there are few things i would not want to be without....and my guitar is one of 'em!

I guess homelessness is homelessness, wherever you live.
