    Thank you so much Mary! I used to live with Oscar when this hapenned, and I remember perfectly how moved he was when he went back home. I actually thought something bad happened at first because he was still so overwhelmed and with tears in the eyes, but then I saw the smile on his face and his excitement when he explained everything, and it was just priceless... Thank you for making his dream come true, he trully is a great guy, full of kindness and such a hardworker, he deserved this more than anyone I know.

    What makes me choke up is seeing someone literally thank a guitar and music for saving his life, and realizing how much time I waste not making enough of my own music. This was an act of kindness to Oscar but it's also a shot in the arm for so many of us bedroom musicians who fritter away our time on less meaningful things. May your tribe increase, Mary.

    In 2008, I went to Austin, TX and tried to busk as a 16yr old, kinda as a social experiment. I met so many amazing people and I made just enough money to get a PB&J sandwich downtown. A barber overheard me just riffing the blues and offered me a coke. I love that man and I'll never forget that.

    I've been busking for awhile, and have been filming buskers for my UA-cam channel (along with a lot of live bands etc.) for years. And I've met some very talented musicians along the way. A few years ago, I lucked into a prime busking location where the street was blocked off so that diners could eat outdoors at a half- dozen restaurants. I made thousands of dollars that summer. So many musicians got our start by busking. Love Mary, she's a musician's musician!
