harkalark who mentioned to me, as we exchanged comments, that he couldn't believe people could just walk past this man while he was singing.
I wondered that, too.
And, hey! Apparently, they're not.
This is a video of him singing "God Bless America" on 6/30 at a LA Dodgers game. This may be the first time I've ever been moved to tears by the song.
More info about Grandpa Elliot, including more amazing music, can be found <a href="http://illegibleme.com/2008/12/03/grandpa-elliot/</a>. Annnnnnd now I want even more to return to New Orleans..
