I just gotta blog about this. You know of this blind man who plays the electric guitar, he normally busks in orchard, but he recently comes over to jurong point recently. And man i am so inspired by him.

Was at the station after returning from visiting my mum in hospital, saw him and he was playing "house of the rising sun" very nice rendition. I decided to stay since i had nothing better to do. No sooner after a minute of standing alone, some guy approached me and exclaimed loudly " this guy's good " I could only nod my head. Later song he played more than words, but i think he got bored of it very fast. actually me too, wassup with everyone learning the song anyway?

Then he turned on a backing track for led zeppelin's "stairways to heaven", It was as if he read my mind. I was secretly hoping he would do a little shredding. He playing the intro, that attracted one other guy to stand with me to watch him. then some guy interrupted him, must be the newspaper guy saying bye. then the blind guy recovered from where he was and boy, he read my mind.

He turned on the distortion effect and started shredding. I have seen shredding but this guy is blind man, WOAH. inspirational. After the song, the guy gave him 2 bucks, i gave 4.

but some how i walked away feeling slightly richer :)
