God Bless America | Playing For Change | Grandpa Elliott

http://www.playingforchange.com/episodes/11/God_Bless_America - While the Playing For Change Band was in Los Angeles, Grandpa Elliott received a special invitation to perform at Dodger Stadium. To open the game, Grandpa played a soulful rendition of The Star Spangled Banner on his harmonica. And then during the seventh inning stretch, accompanied by Louis Mhlanga on the electric guitar, Grandpa gave this inspired performance of God Bless America.

As a blind man, Grandpa is not always able to see the joy his music brings to people. This night however, as his last notes were still ringing in the stadium, the sound of tens of thousands of people's vigorous applause brought a jolly grin to this beautiful man's face.

I'm not Christian but this man deserves my admiration. It has a stunning voice.

Great song..nice comments...then I get to the 7th one down and of course it starts with the profanity and politcs. And again of course people have to reply back and so goes away the nice peaceful moment in an otherwise hectic day.

Why can't people take these comments to the other persons channel page? No ones freedom of speech is infringed upon,everyone gets their say and the rest of us get to relax and enjoy ourselves fully.

Everyone wins...and Grandpa doesn't get upstaged.

@88Sublime96

there are many countrys which has freedom and equality. As ı said:

İf there is a god and he/she is smart he would bless all people. Because of that ı think this song is discriminatory.

[88Sublime96]

@bayJBE I sorta believe because America was founded on the principles of freedom and equality of every one in the country, therefore leading example to the rest of the world for peace and freedom.
