SPENCER LISTENS INTENTLY

Fort Worth, TX

As I walked to the side of the house to get a different perspective, I watched a bit while Spencer listened intently to Alvin's playing. Spencer finally pulled out his phone and recorded some of the music. When I am able to get that music, I will post it here.

You see, Alvin is homeless and we met him at the photo shoot of a young man named Spencer. We went to the old rock house I found. There we found Alvin who had moved in for a while.

Alvin hadn't played guitar since 1983 when his wife left him. After falling into a deep depression he ended up homeless. This gallery is a story of the day I will never forget.

It's so great to see this side of today's youth. All we get on the news is the "bad stuff".

Spencer seems enthralled so it seems Alvin has not lost his touch on guitar...good choice of mono with two such strong models...V
