Panhandle with guitar in Red Bank
01/31/2013 18:32pedestrians started to gather around him listening and admiring the young panhandling kid and his good music. More money started flowing out when I heard one elderly lady say to the person next to her, "He's going to be famous one day!" The teen replied, with a humble smile, "I hope so." Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the panhandling teenager does become famous one day. Afterwards, a beautiful young lady took the time to come out of one of the restaurants, and all the way across the street to put some money into his jar. She said something like, "It isn't much, but it's all I have." That struck a chord with the teen. Someone came all the way over to him and gave him the last of their change. Such a nice and generous act it was just for that teenager.
The young panhandler sure did put it all out there. Completely putting it out there, his music was on the line. This young teen was panhandling with guitar in hand in the middle of Red Bank. He put it out there for all to see and enjoy. He did and they did all the same enjoying this beautiful day.
Well, it was getting late. "Time to go" I said to him. The young panhandling teenager got into the car, and I drove him home to his mother. See, this is one of my 7 grandchildren of whom I am full of pride. He is doing what it takes panhandler to get to where he longs to be. He'll do it because he has the drive. He works his craft each and every day, pushing the limits out of the way.
