After talking with him for about 10 minutes he told me who he was -- Ed Sheeran! He then requested that I sing "American Pie," and to my very pleasant surprise he came up to sing it with me!<iframe class="justify_inline" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="CBF9eFIDuT8" data-video-thumb-url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/CBF9eFIDuT8/mqdefault.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CBF9eFIDuT8?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="180" width="320" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></p>Gary Scotttag:garyscottmusic.com,2005:Post/49828022016-02-12T21:15:00-05:002021-08-20T07:47:30-04:00Musical Director and Bandleader With the Jacksons at Art on Ice<p>These guys are the coolest!

I called Mama Sue up to see if she would like me to come play for the children. She said sure, and that I could come that afternoon. So I hoped on my bicycle with my guitar on my back and rode over. The kids were just wonderful, as is Mama Sue's program! Here's a video of the kids singing along with me. And here is a facebook link for more information on Mama Sue's program, <a contents="Mama Sue's" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.facebook.com/MyanmarAid/" style="" target="_blank">Mama Sue's</a></p>
