- twertyto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+39We had a guy like this come to my high school. We called him Toe-Jam.
- anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31One hell of a dedicated man to learn to play with his feet and not just giving up because he has no arms. I commend him.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25That's probably the most ***** incredible thing I've seen all week..
What's with the ***** walking by paying no attention? - steelmaverick, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21Did Earl come too?
- 4dplane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Not a bad singer either!
- maxman137, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Dude. I've given that guy money.
- BlackCow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9They probably see him everyday. That or there parents probably taught them not to stare at "different" people.
- RevJim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Why's the kid in the background trying to tie his feet together?
- quoigonfishin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5There was a guy named Tony Melendez who played with his feet as well. In fact he played for Pope John Paul II. I found the video on YouTube.

The video quality is poor but the guy is really impressive. I saw him in concert about fifteen years ago. I was blown away. - 21.0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6THAT is why I don't give beggars any money, they complain they can't do anything yet this guy with NO FREKAIN arms can still play guitar and kickass. Amazing what beggars can get from people even when they're still intact.
RESPECT. boo yakasha. - knightblade2oo4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4
i love the different people you find, such as this guy at different big city parks and such.
i saw a guy playing paper mcdonalds cups at pike street market in seattle and it sounded like jazz saxophone. - TheEyebright, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3lol! Anyone remember the Indomitable Spirit sketch from Mr. Show?
This guy is it! - AJRiddle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Dugg for the song.
- ubergmr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3agreed, if he was a street performer i would definitely leave a donation
- tzon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Maybe the video was out of sync.
- Foenetik, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3He also plays the bass.
- Hermitwise, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I said almost.
- SayAnything, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Once I was walking around the area near the San Diego zoo and I saw this guy, there was like a crowd of 50 people around him, it was crazy, he must make a ton in tips!
- donolsen1155, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's very cool.
But how good is he at Guitar Hero? - mastercheif, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2He was just on America's Got Talent....
- solidsmoke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Have you considered that the audio might not be in perfect sync with the video?
- idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Probably less than people get learning with their hands. Your feet have thicker skin and callauses because you're walking on them all the time.
- Cementhead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was unreal, I digg it!!
- franksmith, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't believe how many people walk right by seeming to not even notice!!!!
I couldn't understand how his guitar case was not filling up on tips... I would have slipped him a twenty for sure.
THAT GUY ROCKS!!! - merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Saw a guy playing guitar in utah, who had lost his left arm right about at the elbow, IIRC. I think he used an open tuning, and fretted with the stump.
- BlackCow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nah I dont wish I was disabled just to push me. But if I was I would find a way around it.
- Linkacid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just think of all the blisters he must of goten learning how to do that
- tzon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Inspiring.
- shortkid422, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3How did he do? I missed that episode.
- shack, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2That's impressive, and a great song too!
- egrabosky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This guy is really great. How did he get the amp, guitar and other stuff down there without arms?
- Meursault, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AckxOWz868k
I sure do! - 4dplane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1More like, realize you could be disabled at any time and live your life to the fullest.
- jwjedi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Holy *****, an Indomitable Spirit reference! Ah, Mr. Show...good stuff.
In all seriousness though, that guy was awesome! Hell, I wanted to throw a Fiver into his guitar case through my computer screen. - WyllyWylly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Dugg, because almost everyone else would give up if they lost their arms. Props to this guy for overcoming adversity. Now I'm waiting for "Runnin' Down a Dream."
- shosterman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Kickass man, High Five!
- OutlawJN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Mr. Show..... I thought there were only about 3 people in the whole damn world that watched that classic!!!
- knightblade2oo4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1haha yeah... old black dude?
funny. - drapelyk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@knightblade2oo4
holy crap, it's been like 10 years, but I've seen that guy too when I was on a trip to Seattle - polis74, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1http://mp3vox.com/artist1921/Michael-Jackson/

- Cerberus047, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1crazy awesome videos like this are the reason i read digg
- Mininday, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can understand seeing him everyday, but you should just be staring at him for how incredible he is. I would stop for that incredible effort at Mary Jane. I love hearing these guys playing in parks, subways or otherwise. They have just as much talent as the crap we here everyday.
- Markie1006, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I've heard people in the "real world" have these things called friends.
Some of them occasionally get married too. - dima7b, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Man, everytime I would visit Balboa Park, I'd always see him. I think everytime I go there he's always there. Props to him!
- passion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I just thinking that same thing. My only explanation is - helpers (friends / family).
- FlapJaw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1That wasn't very good.. didn't really sound like Mary Jane. Even if it's his feet, you guys are just sensitive babies and give him "major props" anyway. Get your own damn opinions already.
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1June 24, '06 is not a complainable date. Now, if it was 2005, then yes, we would complain.
- steelmaverick, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Like I can play with my ears and my teeth.
- Hermitwise, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Almost makes you wish you were disabled in some way so you were pushed to be extraordinary. Like how Stephen Hawking was lazy until he found out he had Lou Gehrig's disease.
