    Shoestring has departed this earth now and I hope that Bazz carries on the tradition of hobo traveling!!!!

  • @JawTooth
    @JawTooth 3 ปีที่แล้ว +46

    I told Bazz he should start a TH-cam channel. If he kept at it he could do pretty good on here. He is a good speaker and he really got the crowd going with his enthusiasm and energy. That was an epic interview!

      @dannybennett7483 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I agree with you and I told him that when I meet him in Thomasville ga. All he could do was talk about how Shoestring made him almost famous. Shoestring left some for him to do. That's Shoestring he had a way to help but encouraging others to do more.

    Had it all, lost it all, and found redemption in Christ and riding the rails. What an amazing life story! I hope we hear from him again soon.

    I met Shabbat in Evansville Indiana and had a lovely roadside interaction with him. I gave him some supplies, wet wipes, water, tuna, and a copy of ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN. A great comic book about train hoppin hobos and a man running from the devil to find a back door into heaven, heaven for sinners aka rock candy mountain. Glad to have stumbled into such a raw unique individual with a kind heart and a mesmerizing presence with his hand crafted outfit. Like a train hopping jack sparrow.

    • @gonagain
      @gonagain  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      A train hopping Jack Sparrow....good description of Bazz. We both enjoyed our time visiting with him and seeing him in his element. A kind and generous hobo.

  • @makalapuamegs1056
    @makalapuamegs1056 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    An excellent interview! His quote of giving effortless forgiveness and unconditional love unconditionally was the vision of Seneca Family of Agencies where I was a teacher for children whom experienced traumatic stress disorders. Many had been raised in the foster care system or experienced abuse all resulting in behavioral issues. Since the public schools were not equipped to handle such behaviors they were sent to us. Bazz through such wisdom we were able to see them get a complete education. More people need to follow that way of thinking.

    • @gonagain
      @gonagain  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Megs, thanks for that insight. Bazz is what he says and just a great guy to be around. I think the hobo community is a prime example of being nonjudgmental.

    Again, these interviews are very interesting. My brother was a "Free Spirited" person that found his way of dealing with life by living alone and creating ornate, carved canes. He was eventually knowed as "The Cane Man". Thanks again for bringing light to these individuals so we aren't so quik to be judgmental when meeting them!

Happened in small hobo camp in the woods behind a church. Dangerous guy... wouldn't wanna hang anywhere remote with him for long. Look out, folks. Not such a cool cat in the wild.

I would think the Bulls would be checking ever car leaving that town. Probability not. I’m sure most of them turn their heads and make believe they don’t see them. I hope you and Linda are able to get your transmission fixed.

    Bazz really should start posting videos on here. Without a doubt, he would be very successful and generate a pretty comfortable income.
