One of the most amazing guys I have come across lately is this hobo harmonica player named Peg Leg Sam. He represents one of the most irrepressible human spirits I have seen. Whatever life throws at him, he just reframes it and moves on. When he lost his leg hopping a freight train, he strapped on a fence post with a belt and kept on truck'n. He saved a woman from a beating in a domestic dispute, and got repaid by having his face slit from ear to jaw. He floated through life totally under radar of society until he was discovered and filmed.
In this documentary you hear his life's philosophy and see some great harmonica tricks. This guy is a one-of-a-kind miracle. Give this streaming video a few minutes of your time and I hope you find it as life affirming as I did! http://www.folkstreams.net/pub/stream.php?s=22&f=1 It comes from this great site for free history of blues videos: http://tinyurl.com/368j9d
