    This is the first time I've seen a shop asking someone to play in front of their establishment, and even giving them a guitar. Incredible stuff - well done.

    We (my mom and I) are deeply moved and in tears for this beautiful act of love.
    We know Roberto for years. We’ve enjoyed his performances always “playing for the songs”, never showing off.
    We’ve seen him everywhere playing in San Fernando Valley. He is a very talented and kind man. He helped his poor family in Mexico even sent his son and daughter to University playing music in the street. One of those stories. What example !!! even through the saddens of lost a son in Washington a few years ago due to a random act of violence.
    Let’s help Robert !!!!! He is a good man.

    Roberto is a real life musician. He's not doing it for fame, he doesn't want to be famous. He just plays music for the love of it. The way he picked up that Telecaster and in seconds made it his instrument, that's what it's all about. He deserves this guitar in every way. Well done Jack and Norman's Rare Guitars for their generosity. God bless you, Roberto.
