The Guitar Player So Good, The Pope Gave

Tony began playing the guitar in 1985 after finding his fathers old guitar. On September 15,1987 Melendez played a special performance for Pope John Paul II. Pope John Paul II,visible moved hugged Tony and gave him his blessing. The Pope told Meléndez, “My wish for you is that you continue to give hope to others and continue in what you are doing.”

As of 2005, his band, Tony Meléndez and the Toe Jam Band, has a busy concert schedule. Meléndez gives motivational talks and has written a book.

It brought tears to my eyes. Please watch the awe inspiring video of Tony Melendez.
