Hi –

I was on a phone call with David Perdew a little while
ago and told him about a video of a guy who put a smile
on my face and tears of joy in my eyes.

Repeatedly.

(I’ve watch this video about ten times now, and it
  happens every time :-)

Granted, this guy is not in the same artistic league
as Luciano Pavarotti (you may have heard that he died
recently) — as an aside, in one of my earlier careers
I worked with Pavarotti, but that’s another story for
another time.

But I tell you what, I’ve listened to this young man
sing in this video and got more from his rendition
than ANY other I’ve heard.

(and I don’t really like this kind of music much)

He doesn’t look great, he’s kind of awkward, and lacks
self-confidence (can anybody ever relate to that?).

This amateur gets before the crowd and ‘hits a grand-slam
home run in the bottom of the ninth’ and wins the ball
game in my opinion.

As you will see, there are a panel of judges listening.

One of which is notorious for his negative comments,
but not this time :-) — and rightly so.

Here are the links, there’s three of them — watch all
three to watch this amazing metamorphosis (I love
all three, but the first one gets to me everytime :-)

Here’s the reason I’m sharing this with you:

It’s a real-life example of dreams coming true with hope
and hard work and persistence paying off…and when his
preparation met his opportunity, sparks fly!

I love it!

His first appearance:

The show finale (wow):

AND…

He makes a news story on the TODAY show in America too:

And here is his MySpace page:

Here’s a link to the English translation of the lyrics,
but you don’t need to read the words to understand the
emotion of the singer (just watch the video few times):

Feel free to pass this email along to your friends, they
could use a lift, I know they will appreciate you thinking
of them too.

As always, my best to you –

Mark Hendricks
