Homeless Man Music

[sarahandheartsily]

He's amazing!

[53LadyJay]

Gifted, enough said

[ionian98]

This Guy is still alive and would benefit from this attention some one even flagged his reply asking for gigs just to keep the illusion of the fictional line going but hay oh well Lester MacFarlanbd is his name and he can founf in Venice Beach

[sheetstain69]

damn, how sad, true musicians always go to soon it seems.

[pvvnummer1]

omg omg omg what a rythm. chilllll

[highwithmyguitar]

Ahh...just what I needed...some good ol' homeless man blues...

[BluesBusker]

what a voice!

[biiyonunique]

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT THE FACT THAT HE DIED BEFORE EVEN GETTING A CHANCE TO ENJOY HIS FAME, HE DESERVERED TO GET HIS TRUE SHINE ON.

[miraclejr1]

wow his voice sounds good

[Kprokid06]

Very nice song

[WolfsRainBlue556]

How do all these amazing people end up on the streets!?!?! I blame obama...!

[bobbilse]

@WolfsRainBlue556 ... @WolfsRainBlue556 ...This video was posted in 2006. Obama was president starting January 20, 2009.

Idiotic comments like this say a lot more about you than ANY politician who may have been president at the time this was posted.

[astang21]

@bobbilse ok but honestly Obama has not lived up to what he said he would.

[bobbilse]

@astang21 - Of course, that is true (he has that in common with every politician who has sat in the office), but it is so far beside the point of this video that it makes the person who wrote that look like a fool.

[TheTater1984]

if im ever in cali. i will find you and throw you a 20, or what ever your fav. fire water is. you should be making a living with your music.

[mmmolloy]

Lester is alive and well (10/30/10). I don't know who posted this but it is not true!

[mmmolloy]

Lester is alive and well (10/30/10). I don't know who posted this but it is not true!

[ionian98]

@ionian98 He is alive and better than ever

[Deathsiren]

Awesome

[FOVoid]

amazing voice, to bad that he died rip

[cesurapeldoorn]

is he dead?

[songforamericans]

woe....makin the 5 string bass look easy...

[ionian98]

@songforamericans no he is not good question

[angelturbay]

This man is inspiration to all upcoming bassists

[bobspie4]

this guy is obviously better than bb king himself.

[simpleman6942]

@bobspie4 naaaaaaaaaah

but he was awsome

[rambololal]

R.I.P.

[anamariavideo]

Wonder why he was deemed homeless.

[Johniisss]

omfg this guys voice is amazing, he should tour or shit, i would go listen to him

[melkor65]

he played bass

who did play guitar?

[ionian98]

@melkor65 I did and I played a party with this guy just 4 months ago

[bluelagoon10023]

if you can play bass like that im sure your not short a buck or two. I don't believe he died. What was the name of the company who signed him and i will check it out

[Noir123456]

what a talent so awesome guitar rif oh man just chillin and listening

[mycalling52]

Too bad...he showed a great deal of talent. RIP brother..No more worries on this earth.

[Frv100ss]

Guy, Why some artists are in the street ? Wie could help them by making a giant concert on 7 days, like woodstock (I'm a utopist) but we can do this, no ?

[TOmli87]

No. Sorry, not feasible

[ionian98]

@TOmli87 good deduction

[dodo4hire]

@Frv100ss no we cannot because the world is run by justin bieber looking marketing sluts who do not look for talent but for public pornography.

so guess this is not possible anymore. it all could happen in the 70's man. but times change, and need to change again. in my opinion

[bluesmanPD]

I likes this, more than original version from BB King... nice... RIP

[MisterDanceMachine]

We're all one heartbeat away from the end ... how sad!

[yatah]

"The excitement proved too much. Three weeks later the man was dead of a heart attack. May this beautiful voice R.I.P. "

You don't even know his name but you know he's dead?

Fuck you

[dru187]

His name wouldnt get as much buzz as a homeless man,so they know him as the homeless man,the story sells more,messed up huh?

[Weslo2]

twisted but you're right about the story selling more being known as a homeless man

[ionian98]

@yatah very good deduction and I agree with your response

[ionian98]

@yatah you are very perceptive and absolutely right

[schoolbrat]

...rest in peace

[theargeeexperience]

Be blessed, brother. It's hard times

[johnnyrizza98]

HE WILL BE MISSED ..............

[ionian98]

@johnnyrizza98 He is still living and playing he was giggin oct 16 2010 Lester McFarland, playing bass at The World Stage bringing it along with Richard Grant on trumpet.

[EmmyLazare]

[dickensonkik]

Wow!!.. Great,.. but he died.. hmm

[mastergogo2]

there is a sound of normal guitar at 0:13

[Theboywhoknowsthings]

R.I.P

[RLF777]

Beautyfull...

[hirukosama]

how did he manage to keep/buy a 5-chords bass guitar and an apparently powerful ampli while being homeless and starving all day long, is my question

[thebluesrockers]

he sold his Gold tooth! Dah" lol lmfa...he Kicked it good though.

[Koptfoeva]

i lived on the street for a month and kept my guitar with me and i met another man who had one,just cause the homeless doesnt mean they were born on the street with no money street guitar is one of the only ways to earn money as a bum and not all of em are addicts,everyone has a story,cept the crazys avoid them

[Mornstarzz]

so darn sad! what a great musician he was :(

sure wish he could have been found many years before and he would not have had to live on those streets :(

[standasone37]

I'm grateful to know that he was excited about his newly signed record deal, damn shame that he died shortly afterwards. He won't be forgotten.

[standasone37]

Why not Keep it Simple : "Bass Guitar Cries the Blues"

[Fittfan]

It's not my music taste but he's a good guitar player, though.

[RSKueffner]

Tis a bass mate.

[RSKueffner]

I don't wanna look ignorant when some fool puts my reply in my face. I know there is a guitarist present, I guess my post should have read:

The real musician here is the bassist, but to every man his own opinion.

[Fittfan]

I meant bass. Sorry officer...

[ionian98]

well I am the guitarist in this video and it was a honor to have learned from this man and he showed how to play with all levels of musiscianship thanks for the opportunity to live past glories Greg Cruz

[RSKueffner]

Just as a heads up sir, I didn't mean you aren't a fine guitarist. You obviously accompany this man very well. But hey... you know what I mean.

[jmack3411]

This guy is fantastic, i can't stop watching it.

[reckonman]

this cat is great . no reason for him to be homeless . the mans got real talent , oh yeah , better than most , as good as bb king in my opinion . god bless this man i wish him great happenings to come .

[iindicaii]

if u read the info, sadly he has passed on.

[ExplodingTeeth]

Poor guy..

[BMCouto]

homeless? i would pay to have him singing at a jazz club.. very good

[Dread78]

great!

[xbustacap]

im so enamored by this guys voice and bass playing. its just so relaxing to me for some reason.
