A Homeless Man Sits Down at an Empty Piano and Amazes Everyone

By Sean Phelps, Friday, July 03, 2015

As part of an interactive project, seven pianos were set up in various parts of the city of Sarasota in Florida. Signs were placed next to the pianos encouraging anyone who walked by to sit down and play. That's when this homeless man took a seat and amazed everyone.

One of the city's most frequent performers is Donald Gould. He is homeless, but it doesn't stop him from drawing crowds of people to watch him. Donald is a former Marine who ended up living on the streets after battling a drug addiction. He plans to one day turn his life around and music is a major part of his recovery. After one of Donald's performances was captured and put online, his popularity grew immensely.

If you haven't heard him before, you definitely have to hear him now. Many people from his hometown of Sarasota are hoping Donald one day is on the big stage!
