This Liberian man and his homemade guitar should be famous
It's possible this video stays with you because the song in it is a commercial jingle meant to sell O! Chips.
But it's also possible this video's staying power is due to the fact that it features a man in Liberia who made a guitar out of a stick and an empty gasoline can, and then proceeds to serenade us so simply and so beautifully.
Yeah, that's probably it. Enjoy. Hat tip, Live Leak:
