Grandpa Elliott
Our first trip to New Orleans was in fact a mission to find Grandpa. We knew of his reputation in the New Orleans street music scene and knew his voice would be a great addition to "Stand By Me." We made our way over to Royal and Toulouse, and found him entertaining a crowd on the corner. While he was on a set break, we approached him and struck up introduced ourselves and the project. With a voice that tickles the soul and a harmonica that lifts the spirit, Grandpa continues to dazzle audiences from street corners to stages across the country.

Love Grandpa Elliot, which I can give him a big hug, and adopt him as my grandpa. His voice and talent makes me think that he could have been a great entertainer in the music industry. Hope to see more from Grandpa Elliot. God bless. Yelitza

Been seeing Granpa for years, even have an oil painting of him hanging in my home with other street musicians photos. The day he retires will be the saddest day in the Quarter. Keep on enchanting the crowds!

Does anyone know if there is anyway to contact Grandpa Elliot? Since I have received this video, Stand by Me, I can't stop listening to it. My son travels to Louisianna every year and I would love a picture of Grandpa Elliot. He has captured my heart completely. God Bless Him. If I can write to him, please someone let me know. Thanks ever so.

To see such passion in what he does moves my heart deeply. A passionate musician and grandpa age myself, I hope that I can display that level of love for the world in the same way he does. I wish he was my Grandpa.
