George Dennehy, The Armless Musician That Is Inspiring The World

A. They say that when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That certainly seems to be the philosophy 19-year-old George Dennehy has been adopting all his life. Despite being armless, the musician plays not one, but multiple instruments, all with his feet.

B. The young boy's start to life was not very encouraging. Born without arms, he was handed over to a Romanian orphanage by his parents. But he was lucky - Michael and Sharon Dennehy from Ashland, Virginia were looking for a child to adopt and immediately fell in love with George!

C. The best part was they never allowed him to use his disability as an excuse. So, just as they had done for their other three kids, when George turned eight, he was signed up for cello (виолончель) lessons. The instrument, which is difficult even for people that have the use of both their hands, was even more challenging for George, who had to learn to play it with his feet.

D. But thanks to his persistent music teacher who learned to play the instrument with her feet so that she could teach the young boy, George not only mastered the cello, but also realized that he had a passion and talent for music. During middle school years when playing the cello was not considered "cool", he mastered the piano and guitar, which has become his favourite instrument.

E. As he grew older, George began uploading his "performances" on YouTube. Last year his performance of "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls caught the eye of viewers and his popularity went up. Within days, thanks to the video he got thousands of fans. It was featured on multiple news sites, skyrocketing Dennehy to national fame.

F. The Internet sensation even caught the eye of the American rock band who invited him to perform together with them at Pennsylvania's Musikfest in August 2012. He was so popular that Musikfest organizers invited him to the 2013 event, as a solo performer.

G. The success and positive response have inspired this once shy boy to pursue a career in music and also become a motivational speaker who encourages both able and disabled people to seek out their dreams, no matter how impossible they may sound. Dennehy, who has even told his tale in his home country of Romania, hopes to change the way disabilities are viewed all over the world so that everyone can get the same opportunities.
