That's a sweet Taylor 412 he's playing.

Fuck, now I have to find a way to help this guy. True passion in music doesn't get any better.

Wow. I loved this. I really really loved this. Talent and beauty are everywhere despite adversity……..I hope he gets more than this 3 minutes of fame!
He is so fucking special… True talent, why do people lose their temper, their lives and become hobos?:(
