I also think playing for change is a great organisation that truly deserves support

He melts my heart with his singing, especially “sugar sweet”. I first heard of him through the video “Play for Change”, and when hearing that he was in New Orleans, I was determined to find him, since my daughter was attending Xavier University at the time. Low and behold, 1 out of my 3 visits to the big easy, I spotted Grandpa Elliott while driving down Royal St. I yelled at my daughter to stop, and i jumped out the back seat with my brother-in-law. Of course we had to make sure it was actually him, so my bro-in-law approached him first, and it was then and there that I knew it was him. You see…..I thought Grandpa elliott was blind, which yes, I guess he is legally, but he can still see somewhat.. He saw me, and spoke so sweet, and then started singing……..wow…he is one awesome singer! I got a picture with him, he told us stories, we hugged, and we bought his autographed CD….I listen to it all the time! I wish I had his address so that i can write to him…….the music business really missed out on this jem! Love ya Grandpa! -Janice Richards, San Lorenzo, Calif.

He is a wonderful man and meeting him was one of the highlights of my trip! I love the CD Sugar Sweet-it has all my favorite songs on it, especially ‘Bop or Shag’ music…I give it an A+++.

I’m wondering, when can we expect a CD from Grandpa Elliott? I know I will be among the first to buy it. His voice just resonates with me and I look forward to when I can listen to him on my iPod.

There are indeed beautiful people. Grandpa and Susan will inspire the world in the years to come.

Being an artist true to his/her own art is more important, rather than being spectacular.

I have some videos on youtube of Grandpa that you might enjoy.

In this video he is singing with Oscar Castro who is from Honduras. You will be able to see other videos that I have posted on my youtube page.

Enjoy,
Tammy
