Panhandle with guitar in Red Bank New Jersey

pedestrians started to gather around him listening and admiring the young panhandling teen and his good music. Even more money started flowing out when I overheard one older lady say to her husband, "He is going to be a star one day!" The kid replied, with a humble smile, "I hope so." Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the panhandling teen does become a famous star one day. Afterward, a young woman took the time to walk out of one of the restaurants, and all the way across the street to drop some money into his jar. She said something like, "It isn't much, but it's all I have." It seemed as if that struck a chord with the teenager. Someone actually came all the way over to him and gave him the last of their change. Such a kind and encouraging act it was done just for that teenager.

The young panhandler sure did put it all out there on the line. Completely putting it out there, himself on the line. This young teenager was panhandling with his guitar in hand in the middle of Red Bank New Jersey. He put it out there for all to see and enjoy his tunes. He did and they did all the same enjoying this beautiful day.

Well, it was getting close to 4 PM. "Time to go" I said to him. The young panhandling kid 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 his way.
