Grandpa Elliott - Bluesman and street musician

Grandpa Elliott is one of the most talented bluesmen and street musicians in New Orleans. His voice and harmonica playing is extraordinary. You'll see him playing alone or, more often than not, together with other musicians in the French Quarter. Sunday afternoon in front of the Cafe du Monde is the place for a guaranteed great gig, often lasting several hours. Don't forget to tip the musicians generously.

Here's a video clip I found on YouTube, featuring Grandpa jamming with Mother Tongue.

Grandpa, the only thing I can say is: I love you! You are a Saint!
