Thank you so much for filming this.. This is my dad, with my step mom and her friend. They have been together for 42 years and has cherished every moment with him.. I’m sorry this video portrays her as impatient, but she truly is one of the kindest, giving, and most caring people I know. I am lucky to have them both! He will be 84 this year and has Leukemia. He gets so nervous when he is in front of an audience but he has always had such a soothing voice. He would sing “God you’re so good to me.” Thank you for your kindness and I am truly grateful to have this video with me forever. I hope to see sing with you one day too!
OMG, thanks for sharing this. Your dad seems like a swell guy...you're fortunate to have a dad like that! I commented several hours earlier but just now saw your comment. Your dad's singing was warm & comforting.
What a contrast! Young and encouraged vs mature and barely tolerated. They both needed your gentle nudge that gives them permission to drop their guards, open their hearts and sing out loud. You're the best Reggie!!!
Totally agreed. Sometimes people, in a lifetime never give thought to there being another dimension...like a facet, inside themselves until someone comes along and opens a door.
Yes, agreed, but the strong voiced elder knew what he wanted and needed and gently stood his ground. Once again bringing folks out bringing smiles and strength forth. Simply beautiful REggie!
"make my old memories come alive" beautiful. What a lovely gentleman, and so much joy he got from sharing his song......a little patience is all that's needed sometimes.
The older gentleman touched my heart! Sometimes that one moment in time given to him by you may been worth more than anyone around him. He probably talked about that day for a while. God bless you and your gift.
I love what you had to write, as I feel the same. What a difference it made for this man on this day, to sing with his beautiful voice. He loved every minute of it. ❤️🎶
Yes Jack is enjoying his life and apparently music brings out the best in him. Like any one who enjoys music will come alive. Music of Power, Power of Music.
One of the more subtle, but one of my favorite, parts of this video was when the boy was describing his feelings and being a bit slow to find his words and you don’t rush him. You simply waited, giving him the time and space to express himself without trying to fill in his words for him. I found that particularly sweet.
Thank you, Reggie. You are definitely a ministering spirit. May God guide you, bless your gifts & use you for eternal purposes. Please give all that you are to Him, unreservedly.
I loved both the little boy and the gentlemen in pink. I feel a bit sad for him because his family didn't seem to stay with him. Love your voice, playing and your kind personality!
Finn, what a sweet, old soul in a tiny human vessel! I love it! The older gentleman, was all the way tapped into his inner child! I love the duality of this video!!! Reggie, I always love your videos, and not just because you’re a Jersey boy, but because you bring joy into people’s hearts and raise the energetic frequency of the collective as a whole! Keep spreading good energy! Thanks for sharing your gifts with the world! Sending loving energy everyone’s way! Namaste y’all!
The older gentleman had an amazing voice & his second song "Sing me back home- Merle Haggard" had me in tears, what a special moment, one he will remember for a long time.❤
Reggie is very self aware. He is great with people from all walks of life and all ages. Reggie, thank you. Please keep spreading the positivity, happiness and love. Special soul.
Yes, this. It is so peaceful to watch him being so careful and present with people. No talking over, no taking over the chat, he is a true gentleman and a blessed soul.
The elderly gentleman in the pink T-shirt and cap was so awesome, he told Reggie that he made his day, that was so touching because he made my day when he sang, then said "I feel like a million dollars" I loved it ❤
Reggie, listening to this older man an you together singing this great country song, brought tears to my eyes. I bet you that this guy will never forget you and the joy you brought to his heart. I'll sure never forget this. You are a very beautiful human being. I am 77 and a musician, as well and I know that music heals the soul.
I wish the 2 women with this man knew how lucky they are to have this elderly gentleman on tape singing. I wish I had footage of my dad doing this. He loved to sing right up to his passing at 95. The old are so under appreciated these days.
Thanks for reminding me. My father is a drummer. he played with Doddie West, Sammy Kershaw and Trisha yearwood among others. When ever I watch him play I'm just in the moment. I need to remember that, one day I'll never have the opportunity of his next show. Then trying to look back on all of them memories won't be enough to actually seeing him play. So thank you for helping me remember my dad before it's to late. Thank you
I love the elderly people, they have many good stories to tell. This man got some soul in his bones. He can sing. I could listen to this man sing. Love is in the music.
I wish my dad was still alive, we lost him 3 years ago but my mom is still alive, she is 93 and dad and her were married 73 years. What a sweet encounter. I have tears, that was so sweet.
I know. Their impatience with him was disrespectful. But- they came around, once their guys joy filled the air- not even a mask could stop it! My Daddy died of pancreatic cancer a few weeks ago. He was in broadcasting and chorale most of his life. What I wouldn't give to hear his golden voice one more time. That generation is wealth beyond any price. LOVE 'EM WHILE YA GOT 'EM!❤❤❤
That old man and his song brought me to tears! Love your gentle and encouraging mood, dear Reggie. Thank you so much for engaging people in song and recording it. These are sweet happenings!
That made me tear up a little bit. He just wanted A little time to sing and they were rushing him. I’m so glad he finished that song. Something he will never forget. And that little kid did such a great job too he is on the right track so glad to see parents teaching their children. Great video one of my favorites.
The old guy in the pink shirt stole the show, in my opinion. He’s a great singer and you can tell he just loves it. It’s therapeutic for everyone who takes the time to sing. Guitaro is bringing happiness to people one song at a time. Well done both of you!
This so talented Man is so wonderful! to take the time with this little boy as he will never forget this day nor will the man in the pink shirt.😊Great video!
Never too young and never too old to sing a song. I adore this episode because you made both these guys day a little bit special. The older gentleman was really good, he was in show biz mode.
The 84 old man.I got goosebumps hearing him sing, it was like he was laying out his soul. Thanks for the performance. Great job you're doing in public with your guitar.
Wow, Reggie, I appreciate how you let other people's light shine when it's so obvious that music is deep in who you are and in your giftedness. The Lord bless you and keep you!
I love this older man in this video. He clearly has an apparent passion for music. He delivers his song in such a way that it touches your heart and soul. Beautiful voice. After singing with Reggie, he was probably so refreshed in his spirit that he likely sang all the way home and then some! Way to go lifting people up everywhere you go, Reggie!!🎶
Don't ya just love this guy? He shares joy and happiness, reminding us how great we are... And what a wonderful world it can be... God works in, mysterious and fun ways... Thanks for being you, buddy
Simply loved Finn's simplicity, best of luck with the voice training and piano classes, maybe one day I might say, that's the little boy I heard him sing before...❤
WOWW. the old gentleman has such a powerful, deep voice. This is what you call raw talent, a God-given voice. Thank you Reggie for giving him the opportunity to share his amazing voice and songs that he loves to sing.
That old man's voice was perfect. There's something about age that "refines" a good voice like that over decades of use. Mix that with the hesitant confidence he had and it's truly special.
When the old man started singing the second song the tears just started rolling! It could not have been more from the heart than that!! The little boy was darling sharing his life with you!
So did I. I am so glad that his family softened to his desire to sing. Take time to let people enjoy good things in their lives. There are so many limitations some people place on older Americans.
Jack's family seem tobe 24 x 7 controllers...Jack in all probability gives in most of the time to keep peace. There is no place like O.C Md. and the ES. I will tell you something about an Eastern Shoreman (or woman).. when others give advice... tell you what to do..you must etc...AN EASTERN SHOREMAN WILL POLITELY REPLY; "THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE SUGGESTION." THEN, GO RIGHT AHEAD AND DO IT ( whatever it is) HIS WAY. I HAD HOPED JACK WOULD HAVE STAYED LONGER. HE WAS FUN AND I REALLY ENJOYED HIS STRONG VOICE AND PLEASANT DEMEANOR....Just a guess the women probably wanted to go eat, have a drink or shop....Jack and Reggie were far more fun. Reggie you can light up a room with that smile 😃 thank you for all the fun.
That older man’s wife and daughter(maybe) started out so cold and you brought out the best in all 3 of them. That man will never forget what he did with you, it might even be one of his cherished moments before his life is over. Love what you do and I could tell how much he appreciated you as well. You’re a wonderful human.
That was his child's step mother (the younger one being an ass) and the wife's friend (the older one holding some ice cream) Now think about that a bit lol.
He would have enjoyed it so much more without feeling the pressure to hurry along. This type of person has no feelings for the wants or needs of others ie spoiled.....
The old guy is incredible. We need to have a campaign to make him famous and he can have a crowded audience to him to sing. We can see, how much he enjoys and it makes him happy. Let’s go share 🙏🙏🙏👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@jackiestanton4773 He is one special guy, he said this was his first event, not true? How I he doing? He reminds me of Tom Jones singing love song, such a sweet calming voice❤️
You really made both of their days! Something so sweet to watch the young boy and the older man who would have stayed the whole day there with you if his family would have let him! Lol
I've watched so many of these videos. This man with the guitar is a beautiful man. So talented. Such a beautiful example to the world. Simply an invaluable human being.
Right! You said the absolutely right things about the sweet boy and sweet older man. Musical people are such a joy to have on UA-cam. And it is there - right on the street - wherever that kind young man travels to with his guitar. 🤩🥳
This young man is so impressive! He puts himself out there to the world, but then he skillfully takes a backseat and most gracefully allows the other person to live their dream, or at least have their 15 minutes of fame. Mad respect for this artist, humanist and spiritual warrior…🙏👏😊👍🙏
Your Dad did a great job, kinda reminds me of Willie Nelson a little with his own twist ! Glad you have a nice memory to take home. Reggie is the best. " Jimmy the Bluesman "
Thank you Reggie. You are always so willing to learn a song for someone to sing. This video is a gem. I haven't heard Merle Haggard in a long time and Jack sings beautifully.
I’m moved by how brave and vulnerable the singers are to sing so wholeheartedly. Reggie your kindness and encouragement provides a safe and friendly haven for these folks to express themselves. What a gift you’re giving them, and us!
Shoutout to Finn’s dad for knowing when to let his son open up. Parenting is one of the toughest things and that is great parenting right there. Reggie did a great job as well, kids love to be treated as equals, even when so young. Beautiful video.
You're a kind soul. I feel that you are compassionate and genuine in what you're doing. This isn't about the clicks and likes. You're a breath of fresh air and I am grateful to have come across your channel. I hope you get just as much joy in return. God bless you. 🧡
When you had that older man singing a Meryl Haggard song I wish I was there to give that man a hug. You 2 made my day. I had such a big smile watching that man stop to enjoy life for once. It looked like the people he was with were rushing him. I would have told them to slow down and let him enjoy those little moments. He won’t be here one day but for those few minutes he put a smile on so many faces. I would listen to him sing every single day. I hope you can get this message to him. I want him to keep singing every day. Who knows how many lives he can touch, just like you do every date Reggie. God Bless.
Omg, Reggie your kindness and passion for music are infectious!! I love your idea of giving someone the freedom and support to sing. Music is so important in my life and what you give these strangers is PRICELESS. God bless you and thank you for this. It really made my day:)
Oh Man Reggie.... It was sooo heart warming.... Young boy Finn and the Elderly gent.... Amazing job Brother.... Keep it up and God bless you.... Both of them had so much passion and life!
I’m glad they let him sing. I’m sure they were in a hurry for something and not just being rude. This seems like a moment he will get excited talking about and I’m really glad he was able to get it and share his voice with everyone. It’s a great voice. I’d like to hear him do some more Merle
The older gentleman was having a great time unfortunately his family was to much in a hurry to enjoy this moment he doesnt have to many moments like this left cherish every moment tomorrow may never come. Great singing kind sir enjoyed it very much...😃
Finn was great but Jack really touched a chord with me. Really felt the emotion of sing me back home, he had obviously been contemplating the themes of that song. Reggie was smart enough to coax that gem out of him. Well done to all, Loved it!
This made me emotional. I was so relieved that the 2 ladies didn't rush the elderly man along...he did a good job. This was really wholesome and encouraging... I would love it if more people engaged each other this way. It's just an easier and natural way to interact than the more toxic, energy-wasting manner we often see.
I could sit and listen to the gentleman all day long...such a wonderful, soothing (almost healing) voice. His love of people and life is very evident. Thank you, Reggie, for allowing this wonderful man to bring joy to so many...wish he had been sharing his gift with the world much earlier. And, Reggie. You are so kind and supportive. God bless you.
Just beautiful - especially the old gentleman with the Merle Haggard songs - he had all his heart right up there in his throat. Absolutely the best thing I could have watched all day!
The kid did great. I loved that he was the one to that asked and wanted to sing himself. The gentleman his voice made me cry. I loved that he was a Happy go camper.
This song seems like it meant so much to him, if you listen to the lyrics and look beyond the story you will see that when you get to that age… or that time where your end is any day, you find comfort in those sweet memories life gave you. That’s what I seen when he sang that song
Man, that older gent was giving me Johnny Cash vibes. What a shame he hadn't sung in public before then. And Reggie learning new songs in minutes is beyond amazing.
You touched my heart..I'm 73 and not just the songs but the wonderful spirit you both have from 2 awesome men from different backgrounds but one in spirit. If this nation were like u 2 men there would be no racial issues at all because underneath the skin we are basically the same with the same strugles and our blood runs red no matter who you are...God bless you brother for putting this on UTB..Jerry
This is what the world is missing, strangers talking together and music is the bond. I got out of prison in 2011. I was on a train back home. It was strange. Not one person was talking. Everyone had earphones on? I saw a woman in her twenties with a guitar. Two seats down engrossed in her laptop, earphones on. I went to get some coffee and saw an elderly man with a violin case. I struck up a conversation with him, and came to find out he was a professional violinist. I commented on how people obviously stopped talking to each other within the last 10 years I've been down. He agreed sadly. I said there's a girl down below with a guitar. He said, see if she wants to play. I introduced myself and told her about the man up stairs. She immediately got her things and went with me. Come to find out she was in college learning music. A few minutes later, there was music, a crowd and laughter in that part of the train. It was like a dream to me. Remember i had been in prison for 10 years and was actually afraid of the outside world. I thought to myself in silence while the music and joy ensued, I can't believe it took a newly ex con to bring strangers together and meet. What has happened since I've been gone? So, this video reminds me of that time. Strangers getting together to make music. Wow! Thank you for bringing back that memory. Thank you for making the world better. God bless, ✌️🦁
Wow Leo! Thanks my brother! I'm sitting here thinking about what you wrote....and how the world has gone into prison in the last 10 years with all these gadgets; especially mobile phones. Thank you for the reminder to look up and enjoy one another's company...especially now without masks. God bless you always!🙏❤
I just love what you do Reggie!! Your warmth and curiousity when meeting strangers and let them sing is a win-win situation and a blessing to the world! ❤
I love listening to this older gentleman sing. I could listen to him all day. I would also like to comment on this wonderful man who invites strangers to sit and sing with him. What a beautiful soul he is.
Reggie, you’re a Godsend!!! You brought a smile of maturity to Finn, the boy and a smile of innocence to that older man!!! Someone else stated that this is what we need again in todays world, people being together, conversing, enjoying life. No truer words have been spoken!!! Bless you Reggie!!! 🙏🏻❤️
What is really amazing about this video is that a little boy sings and then an 84 year old sings. I truely believe that Reggie is an Angel. Also i think it brightens his day as well as those who sing with him.
Your dad was absolutely amazing his voice is so beautiful I could listen to him all day long. I hope that your father overcomes leukaemia, he seems to be a real gentleman. Sending prayers and love to him. 🙏💜
I loved this so much, he wanted to hurry but I’m glad he didn’t , my dad rest in peace had a sultry voice like his and it warmed my heart hearing him, he loved Merle haggard. All the oldies like that he would sing to us girls every chance he got. I’m sorry he has leukemia, I’m happy that you explained that his wife wasn’t really that impatient it did come across that way, and he was concerned about their time, even though he was having so much fun. He seems like such a nice man .
What a gem of a video! The young man with the old soul, who stopped with his dad was the cutest! Then that fantastic grand finale!! The older gentleman has an awesome voice and my heart smiled when he checked his voice like 🗣"LAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa" 😍🥰😍 His wife was so cute at first like "chop, chop"! then recording him like his biggest fan, looking like a living heart eyes emoji. God bless them both! Keep up the awesome job Reggie!
About the time I start thinking the world has turned to shit, I watch one of your videos and find some hope. Music and singing really is a universal happiness generator. Keep it going, and keep the smiles and happiness going. Come to Oklahoma sometime, and I'll sing with you. haha.
The guitar playing is awesome. The mans voice is awesome, and he’s really swell at carrying a tune. I love the softness of his voice. The hug brought me to tears. So Sweet.
I'm with all of you that needed a hankie while watching this video. Yup, Grampa= a great man from the past who sounds like he is a wonderful father & person in general. Reggie= a great man currently doing things that make us feel good about ourselves. And, Finn= a great man of the future who when given the opportunity will run the world some day! Thanks to 3 generations for bringing me to 😭 tears!
What brought me to tears was how kind they were, tipped him 3 times, when he said "I hope you get a million dollars" & "you have a great life". Warmed me right up. ❤
dude, now i realize how much you give the people with just singing and making music with them. this video touched my heart, keep going, you are such a nice person, reggie! i wish you all luck and success, one man can have, you would deserve it. best whishes from germany
I've watched many of Reggie's videos and it's now June 2024. And this is still one of the best videos. Finn's smile after he sings his song lifts my heart. You feel the joy in him. The second song that Jack sang was real personal to him. I could hear it as he sang. In this video, i think more than many of Reggie's videos, had two people both young and old, who just wanted to be heard. Reggie gave them the moment to be heard thru song 🎵. It was to me some really special moments in time. Im glad i came back to watch this video. Be blessed ✌️😊
I feel we don't often ask kids how do they feel when something good happens, which is probably quite a powerful question. Normally just ask what's wrong when they're sad
Yeah mental challenges will be the next gen big health issue. I love how he not only entertains but really acts in a way that can change a way of thinking.
My nephew is 4 and I just find everything he does and why so fascinating🤗😍I always ask him how things make him feel when we're together and he's just the most perceptive and super comedic little boy! Can't wait to have my own one day💓
This was fantastic. I loved that Finn named Bill Withers as one of his favorite singers. Glad to see young people paying homage to the greats of the past.
An adorable boy and a marvellous old man! They made my whole month! Skin colour and age don´t matter, when people are decent, kind and love music. I wish Finn a long and happy life. From Brazil I shake Jack´s hand and say to him: I hope that you are still alive, your smile values one million dollars.
Thank you so much for filming this.. This is my dad, with my step mom and her friend. They have been together for 42 years and has cherished every moment with him.. I’m sorry this video portrays her as impatient, but she truly is one of the kindest, giving, and most caring people I know. I am lucky to have them both! He will be 84 this year and has Leukemia.

He would sing “God you’re so good to me.” Thank you for your kindness and I am truly grateful to have this video with me forever. I hope to see sing with you one day too!
Thank you for giving context - great to know they have love together
Your Dad is great! Awesome!!
People can be a bit judgemental and it really only catches a moment in time, not the full picture. Your dad seems like a contented soul
Thank you for the explanation , I was angry to the ladies because I wanted grandpa to continue to sing !! He seems to be a good fella !!
OMG, thanks for sharing this. Your dad seems like a swell guy...you're fortunate to have a dad like that! I commented several hours earlier but just now saw your comment. Your dad's singing was warm & comforting.
What a contrast! Young and encouraged vs mature and barely tolerated. They both needed your gentle nudge that gives them permission to drop their guards, open their hearts and sing out loud. You're the best Reggie!!!
Totally agreed. Sometimes people, in a lifetime never give thought to there being another dimension...like a facet, inside themselves until someone comes along and opens a door.
Definitely.
Really well written comment. I couldn't agree more! Reggie has such an uplifting and inspiring vibe.
Yes, agreed, but the strong voiced elder knew what he wanted and needed and gently stood his ground. Once again bringing folks out bringing smiles and strength forth. Simply beautiful REggie!
So right on!
The older gentleman bought tears to my eyes, he was enjoying that so much and he had a good voice...God bless the singer and the guitar player..
Agreed SAME
"make my old memories come alive" beautiful. What a lovely gentleman, and so much joy he got from sharing his song......a little patience is all that's needed sometimes.
The older gentleman touched my heart! Sometimes that one moment in time given to him by you may been worth more than anyone around him. He probably talked about that day for a while. God bless you and your gift.
The kind of person you'd wanna hang out with every day no matter what age.
I love what you had to write, as I feel the same. What a difference it made for this man on this day, to sing with his beautiful voice. He loved every minute of it. ❤️🎶
The older man really looked like he was having the time of his life! It’s never too late to enjoy making music
@Deco Electra What once you retire your suppose to hang up the shoes and wait for death to come? His name is Jack.
Yes Jack is enjoying his life and apparently music brings out the best in him. Like any one who enjoys music will come alive. Music of Power, Power of Music.
One of the more subtle, but one of my favorite, parts of this video was when the boy was describing his feelings and being a bit slow to find his words and you don’t rush him. You simply waited, giving him the time and space to express himself without trying to fill in his words for him. I found that particularly sweet.
Absolutely ❤❤
Precious moments of seeing the different age groups come together and understand these subtle needs. Beautiful to see
I find your post sweet too. Have a great day. May you feel terrific, just like the guy in the pink shirt.
Yes, it was quite beautiful.
Jack! Thank you!! I grew up listen to Merle haggard, among many others. Absolutely beautiful sir❤
Man, the joy you brought to this man by allowing him to Just Be Himself! and sing his faves. Kudos to you both. Well done!
Thank you, Reggie. You are definitely a ministering spirit. May God guide you, bless your gifts & use you for eternal purposes. Please give all that you are to Him, unreservedly.
Pure gold, the young boy just starting out and discovering his voice and an old man with a lifetime in his voice. What a serendipitous juxtaposition!
great observation
wHaT a sErEnDiPiToUs jUxTaPoSiTiOn!
Cringe of the year.
Serendipitous juxtaposition. Love it!
Should've raised the mike cause kid was leaning into it squeezing his diaphragm, then he'd have sung to his better potential
Beautifully said.
The old man in pink is an incredible singer! Reggie you are such a sweet person, and bring so much joy to the world. Thank you for what you do.
@Deco Electra His name is Jack!
@Deco Electra Being old should not be seen as something negative. Being old means you survived everything that happened in your life.
I loved both the little boy and the gentlemen in pink. I feel a bit sad for him because his family didn't seem to stay with him. Love your voice, playing and your kind personality!
I died when he said I got a brother singing Meryl Hagard. 🤣
@@jimmykouba4494Thank you!
Finn, what a sweet, old soul in a tiny human vessel! I love it!
The older gentleman, was all the way tapped into his inner child!
I love the duality of this video!!!
Reggie, I always love your videos, and not just because you’re a Jersey boy, but because you bring joy into people’s hearts and raise the energetic frequency of the collective as a whole!
Keep spreading good energy! Thanks for sharing your gifts with the world!
Sending loving energy everyone’s way! Namaste y’all!
All is one!
Respect to the Ol´fart and Reggie, the best ending of a video I have seen. I play also but singing not really my thing.
wonderful comment. wholeheartedly agree. Namaste 🙏
plot twist, the older gentleman was future Finn who traveled back in time to have another song at the bench with Reggie.
@@gargoyled_drake that’s a good one! I F*** with that theory! Haha
The older gentleman had an amazing voice & his second song "Sing me back home- Merle Haggard" had me in tears, what a special moment, one he will remember for a long time.❤
This elderly guy is so cool, full of soul. Love it.
Reggie is very self aware. He is great with people from all walks of life and all ages. Reggie, thank you. Please keep spreading the positivity, happiness and love. Special soul.
For sure. Love his style.
Yes, this. It is so peaceful to watch him being so careful and present with people. No talking over, no taking over the chat, he is a true gentleman and a blessed soul.
Truly is. Aside from amazing musical ability, it's his perceptiveness, and lack of ego that warms the heart.
Reggie is a musical lightworker
Beautiful voice , two wonderful people. Thank you. 🥰👏👏🥰
That made the old guy's world. That will be with him every day the rest of his life.
The elderly gentleman in the pink T-shirt and cap was so awesome, he told Reggie that he made his day, that was so touching because he made my day when he sang, then said "I feel like a million dollars" I loved it ❤
Reggie, listening to this older man an you together singing this great country song, brought tears to my eyes. I bet you that this guy will never forget you and the joy you brought to his heart.

Thanks for reminding me. My father is a drummer. he played with Doddie West, Sammy Kershaw and Trisha yearwood among others. When ever I watch him play I'm just in the moment.

I know. Their impatience with him was disrespectful. But- they came around, once their guys joy filled the air- not even a mask could stop it!
My Daddy died of pancreatic cancer a few weeks ago. He was in broadcasting and chorale most of his life. What I wouldn't give to hear his golden voice one more time.
That generation is wealth beyond any price.
LOVE 'EM WHILE YA GOT 'EM!❤❤❤
My daughter taped my dad singing a couple weeks before he died. We played it at his funeral. It was great everyone loved it.
The old man brought me to tears with his song. He had a nice mellow voice, and clearly felt comfortable with you. Well done.
How can you not feel comfortable with a dude as down to earth as him and with a guitar
Same! 💔
That old man and his song brought me to tears! Love your gentle and encouraging mood, dear Reggie. Thank you so much for engaging people in song and recording it. These are sweet happenings!
I would never get tired of hearing that older man sing, love it!
That made me tear up a little bit. He just wanted A little time to sing and they were rushing him. I’m so glad he finished that song. Something he will never forget. And that little kid did such a great job too he is on the right track so glad to see parents teaching their children. Great video one of my favorites.
Hi Mega 👋 how are you doing today
The old guy in the pink shirt stole the show, in my opinion. He’s a great singer and you can tell he just loves it. It’s therapeutic for everyone who takes the time to sing. Guitaro is bringing happiness to people one song at a time. Well done both of you!
Yeah, for sure, the kid was also nice but his voice is just not mature enough and he's shy.
This so talented Man is so wonderful! to take the time with this little boy as he will never forget this day nor will the man in the pink shirt.😊Great video!
This is precious! The gentleman needed to sing and we needed to hear him. Thanks Reggie! ❤
Never too young and never too old to sing a song. I adore this episode because you made both these guys day a little bit special. The older gentleman was really good, he was in show biz mode.
The 84 old man.I got goosebumps hearing him sing, it was like he was laying out his soul. Thanks for the performance.
Great job you're doing in public with your guitar.
The boy is very mature and holds an intelligent conversation. Well done to his parents.
Come on
The boy is a mature gent who also knows what he wants and likes.
I could also talk with him all day
Wow, Reggie, I appreciate how you let other people's light shine when it's so obvious that music is deep in who you are and in your giftedness. The Lord bless you and keep you!
I love this older man in this video. He clearly has an apparent passion for music. He delivers his song in such a way that it touches your heart and soul. Beautiful voice. After singing with Reggie, he was probably so refreshed in his spirit that he likely sang all the way home and then some! Way to go lifting people up everywhere you go, Reggie!!🎶
Bless this older man . Time is so precious , I hope the people around him give him more time . ...
He reminds me of my dad who I miss dearly.
Don't ya just love this guy?
He shares joy and happiness, reminding us how great we are... And what a wonderful world it can be...
God works in, mysterious and fun ways...
Thanks for being you, buddy
The older gentleman has such a beautiful soulful, soothing voice. I would buy his album!! : ) 💕
I came here to make sure someone else was thinking this.
This little artist has some miraculous speech, he phrases his thoughts so amazingly for a youngster. Great job by the dad by letting him do this!
How lovely the Dad asked permission to record his own son. Much respect to both Gentlemen and keep going Finn. You are a talented young man.
I was also impressed that the child placed his litter in the waste bin before he sat down.
Ikr
Simply loved Finn's simplicity, best of luck with the voice training and piano classes, maybe one day I might say, that's the little boy I heard him sing before...❤
@@ty8473 What on Earth has your comment got to do with the previous thread of comments?
WOWW. the old gentleman has such a powerful, deep voice. This is what you call raw talent, a God-given voice. Thank you Reggie for giving him the opportunity to share his amazing voice and songs that he loves to sing.
The little boy was so happy and truly relieved. I'm glad you both got to experience that and talk. This is beautiful
God bless this person and his guitar 🎸....
You made Jack's day and Jack made my day. Thanks for sharing your beautiful and heartfelt gift of song with all of us! Such a Blessing!
That old man's voice was perfect. There's something about age that "refines" a good voice like that over decades of use. Mix that with the hesitant confidence he had and it's truly special.
Well said.
It's so funny Reggie brought up ol' Johnny Cash. Jack sounds a lot like him in my opinion in his later years.
@@reactivereplays5666 thinking the same thing too
That's called the wisdom of time. My mother had it for 97 years. Love you mom💕 We will be together again some fine day🕇🕇🕇
When the old man started singing the second song the tears just started rolling! It could not have been more from the heart than that!! The little boy was darling sharing his life with you!
So did I. I am so glad that his family softened to his desire to sing. Take time to let people enjoy good things in their lives. There are so many limitations some people place on older Americans.
@@lenaedwards7204 I love your heart!
same here, it was very touching
Jack's family seem tobe 24 x 7 controllers...Jack in all probability gives in most of the time to keep peace. There is no place like O.C Md. and the ES. I will tell you something about an Eastern Shoreman (or woman).. when others give advice... tell you what to do..you must etc...AN EASTERN SHOREMAN WILL POLITELY REPLY; "THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE SUGGESTION." THEN, GO RIGHT AHEAD AND DO IT ( whatever it is) HIS WAY. I HAD HOPED JACK WOULD HAVE STAYED LONGER. HE WAS FUN AND I REALLY ENJOYED HIS STRONG VOICE AND PLEASANT DEMEANOR....Just a guess the women probably wanted to go eat, have a drink or shop....Jack and Reggie were far more fun. Reggie you can light up a room with that smile 😃 thank you for all the fun.
I felt the same ....
This is the most wholesome heart healing content ever. He builds people up and sends them off better. 11/10.
YES, 💯 !!!!!!
Loved it, that was a wonderful ,video !
Ever one of you shows make my soul melt😢 God bless your for how you make others feel joy and happiness, you are a BLESSING TO MANKIND !!!!
That older man’s wife and daughter(maybe) started out so cold and you brought out the best in all 3 of them. That man will never forget what he did with you, it might even be one of his cherished moments before his life is over. Love what you do and I could tell how much he appreciated you as well. You’re a wonderful human.
That was his child's step mother (the younger one being an ass) and the wife's friend (the older one holding some ice cream)
Now think about that a bit lol.
He would have enjoyed it so much more without feeling the pressure to hurry along. This type of person has no feelings for the wants or needs of others ie spoiled.....
The older man was fantastic, he was loving every second. Reggie you are a beautiful human, who touches so many people’s lives. One Love ❤️
The old guy is incredible. We need to have a campaign to make him famous and he can have a crowded audience to him to sing. We can see, how much he enjoys and it makes him happy. Let’s go share
🙏🙏🙏👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Aw you’re so sweet… he would really like that.. He is 84 with Leukemia so everyday we have with him is a blessing.. ❤️
@@jackiestanton4773 He is one special guy, he said this was his first event, not true? How I he doing? He reminds me of Tom Jones singing love song, such a sweet calming voice❤️
Wow! That young man singing “lean on me” was entertaining. He’s got rhythm,style and should continue with his lessons! Well done.❤❤❤
You really made both of their days! Something so sweet to watch the young boy and the older man who would have stayed the whole day there with you if his family would have let him! Lol
This elderly man has such a wonderful soothing voice, for you to play for these ppl to listen and sing with you is just priceless ❤️
I've watched so many of these videos. This man with the guitar is a beautiful man. So talented. Such a beautiful example to the world. Simply an invaluable human being.
I loved them both. The boy was so sweet and happy to sing. The older man had a nice soothing voice and was enjoying himself and the moment.
Right! You said the absolutely right things about the sweet boy and sweet older man. Musical people are such a joy to have on UA-cam. And it is there - right on the street - wherever that kind young man travels to with his guitar. 🤩🥳
This young man is so impressive! He puts himself out there to the world, but then he skillfully takes a backseat and most gracefully allows the other person to live their dream, or at least have their 15 minutes of fame. Mad respect for this artist, humanist and spiritual warrior…🙏👏😊👍🙏
I loved the old gentleman’s voice. The depth of feeling it had was awesome. I could listen to him all day long👍
Nothing better than children and older folks. Really appreciate what you do Reggie. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Your Dad did a great job, kinda reminds me of Willie Nelson a little with his own twist ! Glad you have a nice memory to take home. Reggie is the best. " Jimmy the Bluesman "
Wow.... he sings well❤
Thank you Reggie. You are always so willing to learn a song for someone to sing. This video is a gem. I haven't heard Merle Haggard in a long time and Jack sings beautifully.
The older gentleman brought tears to my eyes. Let him sing………❤️❤️❤️
I’m moved by how brave and vulnerable the singers are to sing so wholeheartedly. Reggie your kindness and encouragement provides a safe and friendly haven for these folks to express themselves. What a gift you’re giving them, and us!
The boy picked up the most relevant song of our lives, it was heart piercing listening the words coming out of his mouth..😢 bravo to both of them..
Absolutely adorable little boy. I still don't think I would be able to sing just on their spur of the moment. Grandpa sounds great!!
Loved this. Us older generation appreciates someone to just spend a minute or two hanging out. The gentleman has a beautiful voice.
Hi cherry how are you doing today
Shoutout to Finn’s dad for knowing when to let his son open up. Parenting is one of the toughest things and that is great parenting right there. Reggie did a great job as well, kids love to be treated as equals, even when so young. Beautiful video.
how happy do you think his little brother is? lol. my brothers would have killed me for making them late for dinner.
He got the good voice I wanted more of him singing ❤as country music lover he’s the best singer much love from Uganda 🇺🇬 ❤❤❤❤❤
I fell in love with him and Love this very
He was fabulous
Yeah great dad, forcing his kids to wear maks but doesnt wear one himself... lol trashcan
You're a kind soul. I feel that you are compassionate and genuine in what you're doing. This isn't about the clicks and likes. You're a breath of fresh air and I am grateful to have come across your channel. I hope you get just as much joy in return. God bless you. 🧡
When you had that older man singing a Meryl Haggard song I wish I was there to give that man a hug. You 2 made my day. I had such a big smile watching that man stop to enjoy life for once. It looked like the people he was with were rushing him. I would have told them to slow down and let him enjoy those little moments. He won’t be here one day but for those few minutes he put a smile on so many faces. I would listen to him sing every single day. I hope you can get this message to him. I want him to keep singing every day. Who knows how many lives he can touch, just like you do every date Reggie. God Bless.
Omg, Reggie your kindness and passion for music are infectious!! I love your idea of giving someone the freedom and support to sing. Music is so important in my life and what you give these strangers is PRICELESS. God bless you and thank you for this. It really made my day:)
That kid is awesome, his parents must be so proud of him. Great stuff.
Oh Man Reggie.... It was sooo heart warming.... Young boy Finn and the Elderly gent.... Amazing job Brother.... Keep it up and God bless you.... Both of them had so much passion and life!
I’m glad they let him sing. I’m sure they were in a hurry for something and not just being rude. This seems like a moment he will get excited talking about and I’m really glad he was able to get it and share his voice with everyone. It’s a great voice. I’d like to hear him do some more Merle
The older gentleman was having a great time unfortunately his family was to much in a hurry to enjoy this moment he doesnt have to many moments like this left cherish every moment tomorrow may never come. Great singing kind sir enjoyed it very much...😃
Finn was great but Jack really touched a chord with me. Really felt the emotion of sing me back home, he had obviously been contemplating the themes of that song. Reggie was smart enough to coax that gem out of him. Well done to all, Loved it!
This made me emotional. I was so relieved that the 2 ladies didn't rush the elderly man along...he did a good job. This was really wholesome and encouraging... I would love it if more people engaged each other this way. It's just an easier and natural way to interact than the more toxic, energy-wasting manner we often see.
I could sit and listen to the gentleman all day long...such a wonderful, soothing (almost healing) voice. His love of people and life is very evident. Thank you, Reggie, for allowing this wonderful man to bring joy to so many...wish he had been sharing his gift with the world much earlier. And, Reggie. You are so kind and supportive. God bless you.
Just beautiful - especially the old gentleman with the Merle Haggard songs - he had all his heart right up there in his throat. Absolutely the best thing I could have watched all day!
I watch this video four times, and the old man gets me every single time. He’s very good and I appreciate you doing this even though I can’t sing.
The kid did great. I loved that he was the one to that asked and wanted to sing himself. The gentleman his voice made me cry. I loved that he was a Happy go camper.
This song seems like it meant so much to him, if you listen to the lyrics and look beyond the story you will see that when you get to that age… or that time where your end is any day, you find comfort in those sweet memories life gave you. That’s what I seen when he sang that song
Wow this man has an amazing voice I’d loved him to sing more . My dad is 80 and sick in hospital so it was extra emotional love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Many many blessings & well wishes sent your way 🙏🏻💓
Man, that older gent was giving me Johnny Cash vibes. What a shame he hadn't sung in public before then. And Reggie learning new songs in minutes is beyond amazing.
I LOVE your receptive encouragement of people, inviting them to sing with you!!! We need more of that, MUCH more. You are wonderful!
The older mam had a great voice!! Reggie that is amazing you could drop unfamiliar into that song!! You are incredibly talented!❤❤❤❤ such a blessing
You touched my heart..I'm 73 and not just the songs but the wonderful spirit you both have from 2 awesome men from different backgrounds but one in spirit. If this nation were like u 2 men there would be no racial issues at all because underneath the skin we are basically the same with the same strugles and our blood runs red no matter who you are...God bless you brother for putting this on UTB..Jerry
I LOVE how Reggie ignores the grumpy people that want to hurry thru life. “You sing as much as you want” just ignoring the bad energy. ❤❤❤
This is what the world is missing, strangers talking together and music is the bond.
I got out of prison in 2011.
I was on a train back home.
It was strange. Not one person was talking. Everyone had earphones on?
I saw a woman in her twenties with a guitar. Two seats down engrossed in her laptop, earphones on.
I went to get some coffee and saw an elderly man with a violin case. I struck up a conversation with him, and came to find out he was a professional violinist.
I commented on how people obviously stopped talking to each other within the last 10 years I've been down. He agreed sadly.
I said there's a girl down below with a guitar. He said, see if she wants to play.
I introduced myself and told her about the man up stairs.
She immediately got her things and went with me.
Come to find out she was in college learning music.
A few minutes later, there was music, a crowd and laughter in that part of the train. It was like a dream to me. Remember i had been in prison for 10 years and was actually afraid of the outside world.
I thought to myself in silence while the music and joy ensued, I can't believe it took a newly ex con to bring strangers together and meet. What has happened since I've been gone?
So, this video reminds me of that time. Strangers getting together to make music. Wow!
Thank you for bringing back that memory. Thank you for making the world better.
God bless,
✌️🦁
Bless you too.
@@adrianarcher874
Thanks, i needed that
Peace.
I feel the same way! I wish something like a pow wow - free voices Expressing themselves were common spontaneous events.
Wow Leo! Thanks my brother! I'm sitting here thinking about what you wrote....and how the world has gone into prison in the last 10 years with all these gadgets; especially mobile phones. Thank you for the reminder to look up and enjoy one another's company...especially now without masks. God bless you always!🙏❤
And bless you too for doing what you've done, I hope you are ok..greetings from Australia 👣🦘 🪃
I just love what you do Reggie!! Your warmth and curiousity when meeting strangers and let them sing is a win-win situation and a blessing to the world! ❤
The old fella has a great voice, almost old Johnny Cash vibes. Great vid as always Reggie
I love listening to this older gentleman sing. I could listen to him all day. I would also like to comment on this wonderful man who invites strangers to sit and sing with him. What a beautiful soul he is.
I’m glad his wife’s heart soften after the 2nd song. That was a heartfelt song. ❤️ and that little boy 💕
I ❤ what your doing Reggie. This is what we need in our world now. That little boy helps our world.
Reggie, you’re a Godsend!!! You brought a smile of maturity to Finn, the boy and a smile of innocence to that older man!!!
Someone else stated that this is what we need again in todays world, people being together, conversing, enjoying life. No truer words have been spoken!!!
Bless you Reggie!!! 🙏🏻❤️
What is really amazing about this video is that a little boy sings and then an 84 year old sings. I truely believe that Reggie is an Angel. Also i think it brightens his day as well as those who sing with him.
Your dad was absolutely amazing his voice is so beautiful I could listen to him all day long. I hope that your father overcomes leukaemia, he seems to be a real gentleman. Sending prayers and love to him. 🙏💜
I loved this so much, he wanted to hurry but I’m glad he didn’t , my dad rest in peace had a sultry voice like his and it warmed my heart hearing him, he loved Merle haggard. All the oldies like that he would sing to us girls every chance he got. I’m sorry he has leukemia, I’m happy that you explained that his wife wasn’t really that impatient it did come across that way, and he was concerned about their time, even though he was having so much fun. He seems like such a nice man .
What a gem of a video! The young man with the old soul, who stopped with his dad was the cutest! Then that fantastic grand finale!! The older gentleman has an awesome voice and my heart smiled when he checked his voice like 🗣"LAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa" 😍🥰😍
His wife was so cute at first like "chop, chop"! then recording him like his biggest fan, looking like a living heart eyes emoji. God bless them both!
Keep up the awesome job Reggie!
That old guy had such a stunning voice, thank you for making such good content happen.
About the time I start thinking the world has turned to shit, I watch one of your videos and find some hope. Music and singing really is a universal happiness generator. Keep it going, and keep the smiles and happiness going. Come to Oklahoma sometime, and I'll sing with you. haha.
This man was amazing! Love his Merle Haggard songs. I read his daughter’s post and cried. You sound so proud of your dad, as you should be !!
The guitar playing is awesome. The mans voice is awesome, and he’s really swell at carrying a tune. I love the softness of his voice. The hug brought me to tears. So Sweet.
What an awesome video, just how humanity should be with each other, I had tears streaming down my face watching that. Ayub Bradford England.
I thought I was the only one crying 🥲
I'm with all of you that needed a hankie while watching this video.
Yup, Grampa= a great man from the past who sounds like he is a wonderful father & person in general. Reggie= a great man currently doing things that make us feel good about ourselves.
And, Finn= a great man of the future who when given the opportunity will run the world some day!
Thanks to 3 generations for bringing me to 😭 tears!
What brought me to tears was how kind they were, tipped him 3 times, when he said "I hope you get a million dollars" & "you have a great life". Warmed me right up. ❤
dude, now i realize how much you give the people with just singing and making music with them. this video touched my heart, keep going, you are such a nice person, reggie! i wish you all luck and success, one man can have, you would deserve it. best whishes from germany
That lil boy was too cute & so brave!! I’d have never had the guts to sing in public @ his age. The world is his oyster ❤
I started busking when I was about 12 but to be fair it was with the violin and no singing, started singing in public around 14
@@nickevershedmusic8927 no one cares nick
@@isabellahazel2043 i care lol
@@isabellahazel2043 I cared! Bitchy Sicko, that was so uncalled for.
I've watched many of Reggie's videos and it's now June 2024. And this is still one of the best videos.
Finn's smile after he sings his song lifts my heart. You feel the joy in him.
The second song that Jack sang was real personal to him. I could hear it as he sang.
In this video, i think more than many of Reggie's videos, had two people both young and old, who just wanted to be heard.
Reggie gave them the moment to be heard thru song 🎵.
It was to me some really special moments in time. Im glad i came back to watch this video.
Be blessed ✌️😊
I feel we don't often ask kids how do they feel when something good happens, which is probably quite a powerful question. Normally just ask what's wrong when they're sad
Yeah mental challenges will be the next gen big health issue. I love how he not only entertains but really acts in a way that can change a way of thinking.
Isn't it AMAZING that most everyone Reggie asks how it made them feel they all say HAPPY! Reggie is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HUMAN I'VE EVER SEEN.
I also loved that even though they had somewhere to be the Dad still stopped & let his son sing.
My nephew is 4 and I just find everything he does and why so fascinating🤗😍I always ask him how things make him feel when we're together and he's just the most perceptive and super comedic little boy! Can't wait to have my own one day💓
i will remember this
Bravo! That kid was so brave to even sing that song! I know you helped boost up his self esteem, and that older man has great vocals! 🤍
This was fantastic. I loved that Finn named Bill Withers as one of his favorite singers. Glad to see young people paying homage to the greats of the past.
An adorable boy and a marvellous old man! They made my whole month! Skin colour and age don´t matter, when people are decent, kind and love music. I wish Finn a long and happy life. From Brazil I shake Jack´s hand and say to him: I hope that you are still alive, your smile values one million dollars.
