    Grandpa Elliott (born Elliot Small; July 10, 1944 - March 8, 2022), also known as Uncle Remus, was a veteran street-musician in New Orleans, Louisiana.He's now singing on the STREETS PAVED WITH GOLD. God rest his soul...

    Many years ago my wife and I visited New Orleans for a week. We walked every street, stopped by every sidewalk were music was the choice of the day. Low and behold we came to Jackson Square and the St. Louise Cathedral and there sitting on a box was the old black gentleman with a grey beard and ne belted out songs. Years later I found him again on 'Playing for Change'. Now I know his name - Grandpa Elliot. Grandpa or Opa, as we would call him in my home, you made my day and you will continue to inspire me to be a better human being. Yes, we must Change this world.

    Amazing talent. This is what happens when talented people use this talent to express the essence of the music of their soul; that they thoroughly love what they are doing and the means of expression. They don't need a huge stage and all the money and royalties, their reward is sharing the very essence of their talent. Thank you for allowing us to share it by listening. Grandpa Elliot, Oscar Castro, keep sharing please.

      Ja Moon it's amazing what a little reverb does to fill with anyone's voice.

    Oscar has an amazing voice I think. Can you imagine what he would sound like in a studio without background noise. And Grandpa, what can you say. Men of 2 races together in one moment in time when all that just flat don't matter. Too bad there is no more of people just content to live and enjoy their lives. This is what counts. Thanks guys. God Bless you!

    Oscar Castro is a virtuoso guitarist and an inspired singer, with a great voice, in Honduras 🇭🇳, he played the guitar for the group ANCESTRO, an Andean music group, which showed the way to those of us who continue to play rhythms of the South of America. Thank you Oscar, for his collaboration in the dissemination and conservation of Latin American music...

    Cuanta gente desconocida caminan por las calles, con dones increíbles en los cuales nadie les ve la cara...pero basta que canten, y de pronto uno hace un alto, allí se descubre las inmensidades ocultas de estas personas...el que lleva la música por dentro atraves de su voz o instrumento, esta lleno de sensibilidad incomprendida.
