Homeless Artist

I was prompted to make this video of Larry Magee when I discovered his love for Art,.. while showing me some of the Art-work he has created.. He's originally from Chicago, homeless for the past 10 years, moving from state to state arriving here in Tampa about 2 years ago..I offered Larry my help, to find housing for him with an Agency, also, to look into the possibility to show his work with the idea of him earning a living with his talent as an Artist.. I met him while I was riding my bike along the beautiful Bay Shore on my way to the Cultural District of Tampa...

Larry also played a mean bass guitar back in the seventies accompanied by his late brother Gregory on rhythm guitar and Kevin on the drums.

Does he know that his mom passed away and that her memorial service was held today?
