If you’ve ever wanted to hear the classic music piece of Mozart with a bluegrass style on a banjo, here’s your chance!
Musician Luca Stricagnoli Performs Mozart on Banjo and this arrangement is oddly beautiful! Luca is a multi-talented musician from Italy. He’s known for his guitar skills, high-intensity performances, and making popular music videos.
Luca was born in Northern Italy in a place called Varese. His unique approach to playing the acoustic guitar helped him become a viral sensation with a YouTube channel that has over 100 million views, and more than a million followers worldwide.
In his performances, he’s been known to use up to five guitars for one song leaving his audience in awe of his incredible musical talents. Every once in a while, he likes to play the classics. And this video proves why he has so many fans.
Luca plays the beautiful music of Mozart on a six-string banjo in Serenade G from Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.It may be one of the most creative and refreshing versions of this classical piece yet.
Showing off his incredible string-plucking skills with a bluegrass sound, Luca makes the twangy and humble banjo sound remarkable. In a true bluegrass style, he stands by a barn with a toothpick in his teeth, dressed in a smudged up, white muscle shirt.
In full character mode of a mountain country boy, he uses every inch of the banjo and it manages to make it look like an easy breeze in June as he plucks the strings and stretches his fingers to impossible lengths to hit every note perfectly.
But keep watching! The best part of his musical gifts is the incredible moment when he plays the banjo like a violin using a horse string bow. That’s right, you read that correctly, he uses a tiny horse string bow to create the sound of a violin on a banjo!
Luca is definitely a testament to what we can do when we use the talents and gifts God blesses his children with and for Luca, it’s making the world enjoy the gift of music.
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:”

In one of the most inspiring videos you’ll see on the internet, ‘The Weight Of The Badge’ by George Strait honors first responders with an emotional song. And you don’t want to miss it. If you’ve ever found yourself in a situation in life when first responders were needed, you’ll want to watch and share!
The idea of the song was first conceived when George was honored with the 2018 Texan of the Year Award. for his efforts to raise funds and awareness for Hurricane Harvey relief. George explained that during the ceremony, his grandson Harvey was given a badge from one of the security officers at the ceremony. The officer let his grandson play with the badge and pin it to his shirt. In that moment, George realized the badge isn’t that heavy until you put it on, and then the weight of what it becomes powerful because of what it represents.
The country singer then collaborated with this son Bubba and his songwriter friend, Dean Dillon. The melancholy tune captures the duty, honor, and responsibilities first responders carry when they choose to sign up for a dangerous job that puts their lives on the line.
The song also captures the weight of what each family member carries when their loved ones leave for work:
He spends his life just like his dad's
Driving away under the weight of the badge
This video follows first responders, officers, emergency professionals, and firefighters. In the video, a police officer’s wife said, “Every time he leaves, I always say call me or text me because I want to make sure he’s okay because I know it’s a possibility that he may not be some time. That’s the biggest weight and I feel like a lot of times when he leaves when I give him a hug and kiss goodbye, I always hold on to him for a couple of extra seconds. Just because.”
A firefighter responded to George Strait’s song too. She commented, “So for me, the weight of the badge is the weight of the pager. When the tones go off, the emergency comes in and you’re going.”
One officer in the video recounts how hard it is to put the badge down at the end of the day when he goes home and tries to leave work at work. He said, “But you still have to leave and go home and take that badge off. But after you’ve had that long day at work your heart is still heavy because of what you’ve seen.”
The video has already had more than 465k views, and it’s catching on like fire--rightly so. With all the turmoil going on in this country, thank God for first responders and their families. They kiss their loved ones goodbye and they don’t know if they will come home. May we all take a moment to ask God for his hand of protection and comfort to be on these brave and courageous heroes in our community.
“Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle; he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.” Psalm 144:1-2

This super smart dog surprises the staff by walking herself to doggy daycare. I hope she got to stay and play!
An employee at one of HappyTails Pet Resort & Spa’s locations got a different kind of greeting than he’s used to. Early one morning, Marty noticed a dog trying to get in. It was early enough that the sun hadn’t risen yet, so he waited for a human to round the corner to let their dog in.
Except, no human appeared. Being the responsible dog-sitter that he is, Marty let the cutie inside and immediately realized this was one of their regulars! But why’d she show up without her human? And how?!
You can tell in the clip, caught by the store’s security camera, that this pup clearly loves daycare. She jumped all around with her tail wagging and took it upon herself to explore the storefront. She even knew exactly which door to go play!
Marty quickly looked up the owner’s number to let them know that their dog showed up without them. Apparently she had escaped their yard and walked herself right to daycare — it must be her second home! She knows exactly where to go to have a good time!
Luckily for the pup, her human said she could stay and play for the day. Even though escaping the yard isn’t exactly a ‘good girl’ decision, she safely made it to HappyTails on her own. That’s one smart pooch! Definitely a good girl in my eyes.
After the playful pup got permission to stay, Marty let her in the playroom to say good morning to her buddies — the happiest of endings! Let’s just hope she wasn’t able to get out again!
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
Two incredible singers are going to blow you away. Take a moment and watch this video where a contestant on The Voice performs Lauren Daigle’s ‘Hold on to Me.’
At the start of the video, we hear a powerful performance by Katie Rae. She sings, “Hold on to Me” with authenticity and strength. Her vocal ability is incredible and she knows how to captivate an audience.
Katie sings out, “When I am sure, I have reached the end. Hold on to me when I forget I need you. When I let go, hold me again.” As she sings the judges are amazed by the control of her voice and the beautiful tone that she has throughout the song.
Katie Rae is not selected as the winner in the battle, however, after she humbly accepts her defeat and gives gratitude to the judges, Kelly Clarkson decides to bring Katie onto her team. It is an amazing moment of surprise and the girls all hug in celebration.
Katie’s song reminds us of the importance of continually returning to the Lord. Even when we make mistakes and turn away from God’s best for us, He is there holding on to us. The Bible tells us that the Lord never leaves us and that He never abandons us. When we accept Jesus as Savior, we are adopted as God’s own children.
Just like a caring father holds on to his children, our Heavenly Father holds us. May this song from Lauren Daigle sung by the incredible Katie Rae be a reminder of the relentless love and stability that we have in Christ.
“He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’” Hebrews 13:5
Listen to this father-daughter duo beautifully cover the popular song ‘Shallow.’
“Tell me something, boy, aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?
Or do you need more? Ain't it hard keepin' it so hardcore?
I'm falling in all the good times I find myself longing for change, and in the bad times
I fear myself, I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in, I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us, we're far from the shallow now”
The father and daughter in the video are Adrian and Emma-Jean Galliard, and they both have such lovely voices! The song that they are singing is ‘Shallow’ and it is from the movie A Star Is Born. The artists singing in the original song are Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.
In this cover video, Adrian and Emma-Jean sing such beautiful harmonies throughout the song. They both are so talented, and it is great to see them sharing their gifts with others.
“This Father/Daughter duo is absolutely outstanding!” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video. “Their delivery is perfect, and they complement each other as they sing! You can also see the love they have for each other! All I can say is bravo!”
“What a wonderful version of Shallow. I’ve heard this by others, but your voices are blended so beautifully,” writes another person online. “Absolutely gorgeous. The love between daughter and father shows in their singing. Absolutely fantastic.”
The talented father-daughter duo performs regularly at corporate and charity events as well as at their home in Johannesburg, South Africa when they host parties for family and friends.
We hope that you enjoyed watching this touching duet today of the song ‘Shallow’ and it was able to bring a smile to your face!

Viral vocalist Claire Crosby returns with an incredible Disney villain medley shot at Walt Disney World.
You may recognize 8-year-old Claire from one of her many viral videos. Claire and her dad became Internet sensations after their precious duet 'You've Got A Friend In Me' went viral in 2017. Since that time, Claire has been keeping busy with a successful YouTube channel where she sings and showcases fun times with her family.
Claire has also made appearances on The Voice, The Ellen DeGeneres Show and many more.
The rising star started her singing career with a Disney song, so it’s fitting that she travels to Walt Disney World for her next performance. Today, she is channeling all of our favorite Disney villains for a sensational concert throughout the parks.
Just listen as she belts out tunes like ‘Be Prepared’ from The Lion King while standing in front of The Tree Of Life in Animal Kingdom. Or in front of Gaston’s Tavern as she sings the infamous lyrics from Beauty And The Beast.
My personal favorite is ‘Poor Unfortunate Souls’ from The Little Mermaid as she dons a themed costume.
“My dear, sweet child. That's what I do. It's what I live for.
To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself.
Poor souls with no one else to turn to.”
I always look forward to Claire’s performance and this one definitely put a smile on my face.
Psalm 127: 3-4 “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth.”
#Redeem the time #Social media is a big TIME killer and heavily influences their decisions. However, we should all learn to be the ones in control. When God works, He will make everything work in that direction, that glorifies his name. That's what you experience in this film.
I hope this short film triggers a shift in our lifestyle. God bless you all.
I thank my wife jincy for being the ultimate support, my sons Joel - Joshua for being my critics, support team (Physical to VFX), my champions - St Aprem children, the entire family of St Aprem for trusting and supporting me. It was an Awesome feeling to come together after the pandemic. God bless you all.

This footage from a surveillance camera is absolutely, incredibly jaw-dropping!
James Kilcer, a Marine, single-handedly disarms a robber at a gas station. Lives were saved, and a robbery was halted because one man was willing to lay down his life.
It was late evening in Yuma, Arizona when James stopped at a gas station to pick up a few items before going home. As he was chatting with the gas station clerk, three young men entered the store with masks on and one of them had a gun. These young men were expecting an easy robbery to go smoothly where they would leave with money in hand. But they weren’t counting on God to place James at the place at the right time.
In a matter of seconds, James single-handedly grabbed the gun that was pointed straight at the clerk. He acted in less than three seconds and botched the robbery.
He didn’t use brute strength either! He assessed the situation and noted that only one of the three young men had a gun. He also noticed the robber was looking at the clerk and wasn’t expecting James to act out or move.
James then reached out and grabbed the gun. He effectively knocked these three robbers off of their game with the element of surprise. James then apprehended one of the robbers until law enforcement arrived on the scene.
When he was questioned about the situation, James said, he wouldn’t hesitate to risk his life again. He added, "The Marine Corps taught me not to [mess] around."
This video is going viral, and it’s not surprising why. It deserves to be shared. His incredible act of bravery is refreshing, inspiring, and reminds us all to stand up for justice while we trust in God. Those who have seen the eight-second surveillance video have commented, “He protected our country, you think he can't protect a store? GOD BLESS YOU SIR.” Another viewer said, “That dude attacked him faster than a snake striking its prey!”
Thank God for men like James. His courageous act reminds us that to be a man of God is to stand up and be counted on when there is danger or other evil. James knew he could trust God for the outcome and this is what makes him a strong, courageous soldier.
May we all rely and trust God’s hand to protect us in any and every situation. Bless this man for his willingness to stand up and protect!

There is nothing like meeting your hero. In this video, a country artist is moved to tears after Randy Travis appears on stage with him.
Singer Jon Pardi got an unexpected surprise when he thought that he was honoring Randy Travis as the 2021 Artist of a Lifetime for CMT.
Jon says that Randy influences him as an artist and he is one of his heroes. While Jon was celebrating Randy’s music, Randy shows up in the room. Jon says, “What?!” He smiles and Randy smiles back. Jon replies, “Well hey, Randy, this is a surprise.”
Mary, Randy’s wife, expresses her gratitude to be at the Palace hearing Randy’s music. The restaurant where they are honoring him was where Randy worked as a cook and dishwasher, and they put him up on the stage. The rest is history.
At the end of the song Jon sings next to Randy and his wife, he chokes back tears. Jon had what was probably one of the best days of his life.
Thinking about how Jon was so amazed and humbled to be in the presence of his hero, reminds us about how we are to be even more so with God. Jesus is our ultimate Hero who died on the cross for our sins and just as Randy came to Jon, Jesus came to us.
In the midst of our sin, Christ died for us. He is with us always through the gift of the Holy Spirit and one day, we too will have tears of joy at the sight of the face of our great God.
“And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God.‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.’” Revelation 21:3
Every child probably would love to ride up to school in a super cool car. In this video a limo driver dad takes kids to school in style after a bus shortage.
When there was a bus shortage in Ohio, Sean Rogers Jr. decided to help out in a unique way. He decided to bring his limo to pick up children on a bus route.
He shares, “When I first pulled up to houses or whatever, they were amazed, their faces were shocked. They couldn’t even believe it.” He explains that the children knew they were going to school, but not in a limo. I cannot even imagine the happiness and excitement of these children.
This caring father knows that education is important and decided to use his tools to help kids get where they needed to go. His own children were not able to go to school because the bus never showed up. This was upsetting to him and he decided to make a change for the better.
Sean shares how he posted on Facebook to help parents get rides for their children. Parent after parent contacted him for assistance. He still uses the limo to take kids to school today. Sean even shares that if the buses come back and they still want him to help out, he is going to be there.
Sean’s attitude of relentlessness in helping his children and others is amazing. This should remind us that God loves us unconditionally and we as the church are also called to support each other and love those around us.
“By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35
Generosity to a stranger goes a long way. In this video, a teen disguises himself as homeless and people’s kindness will restore your faith in humanity.
A group called, “I Like Giving” dressed a teenager named Jacob up as a homeless person for a good cause. Jacob does a social experiment where if a person gives to him, He gives them a gift card back for their decision to be generous.
As Jacob goes up to people who are giving to him from their cars or from the street, he provides a gift card to them. Many of the individuals are shocked and encouraged to be given back to.
In the video, suddenly a guard comes up and tells him that he cannot panhandle in front of the store. He nicely asked him if he had someone to guard him. As the two teens describe what they are doing, they interview Carlos the guard. He shares that he is looking for the goodness of the heart. A young girl appears out of nowhere with cash and then they gift her. The girl’s mother is surprised by the financial return. The teens get pumped up and chest bump with Carlos.
This video reminds us that God loves a cheerful giver. We as believers are called to give out of a heart of joy, not begrudgingly. As we witness the many people who choose to help Jacob in this clip, may it inspire us to be generous of the heart through the power of the Spirit of God in us.
“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-7
