http://bit.ly/aX2m4P - Grandpa Elliott has been playing on the streets of New Orleans since he was six years old and it is time for his music and passion to meet the masses. Playing For Change recorded his album, Sugar Sweet, throughout the 2009 Playing For Change Band North American Tour. It all started one evening at a barbeque when he began tapping his foot, slapping his hand against his knee and singing, Your lips is so dog gone sweet to me, baby Im afraid, if you kissed the ocean it would turn to lemonade" I remember thinking we could not get to a studio fast enough!!
I love this man with all my heart for his soul, sweet voice and power of conviction. He performs each song as if it was his last and puts every ounce of his giant heart into every note. Check out the album, support a great performer, and lets teach the world that some of the best music we have ever heard comes from the streets!!! From the people, for the people.
One Love,
Mark Johnson

Je suis fan de la première heure de playing for change dont l'esprit va bien au delà de la musique. Et en particulier de Monsieur Grandpa Elliot, avec un grand M. C'est avec ce genre de projet que l'on peut croire encore en l'homme. Les commentaires dans toutes les langues prouvent l'universalité du message. "Playing for change" et en particulier Grandpa Elliot. Merci,
