Tony Melendez Plays for the Pope

Maybe you've seen this classic footage of Tony, the beautiful soul, born without arms because of thalidomide taken during pregnancy, who played for Pope John Paul II in LA, 1987. Here are two songs of his, and halfway through you'll see the actual film of John Paul II coming down to embrace Tony after he played. Be sure to read the synopsis of Tony's amazing story in the sidebar of the video.

    I actually met him at a concert at which he performed at Our Lady of Ransom and he really is amazing! He even signed a CD for me!

    WOW! Who can figure why things are allowed to happen that cause us to view what we have differently from the normalcy of life. God can.Be thankful for what He has and has not given to you.
