Homeless Man With The “God Given Voice” (1,000 “Anne’s POWER SURGE Blog” Posting)

If we are reminded that the year 2011, a new year also brings about brand new beginnings, it is in a Columbus, Ohio, USA homeless man who goes by the name of “Radio Man.”

Because of a YouTube video which has gone viral over the internet which demonstrated the very extraordinary radio voice that he has as he would begged on the streets of Columbus, OH.

The man’s name is Ted Williams.

From the Radio Television Digital News Association or RTDNA website:”Looking for a second chance in life and in journalism, a Ohio homeless man got more than he probably ever expected when a video recently posted to YouTube demonstrated his extraordinary radio voice as he begged on a Columbus, Ohio roadside and turned him into an overnight sensation.

The man, Ted Williams, is known by locals (including police) in Columbus as “Radio Man.”

Originally trained to be a radio announcer, Williams said he turned to drugs and alcohol and ruined his chances of a journalism career.”

Now clean and sober for the past two years, and to the credit of the person who made the video, “Radio Man” has been receiving a number of jobs including a dream job with the Cleveland Cavaliers and a free house.

From the New York Post website:”The Cleveland Cavaliers just offered me a full-time job and a house! A house! A house!,” repeated a stunned Williams, 53, on local radio station WNCI.

A caller to the show who said she represented the Cavs offered Williams, who shot to stardom after local newspaper the Columbus Dispatch on Monday posted video of his perfectly pitched panhandling, a full-time job doing voiceover work for the team and parent company and a free home in Cleveland.

The Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, native trained to be a radio announcer before drugs and alcohol ruined his chances at a career, and he was reduced to begging on the side of a road in Columbus, Ohio, before the newspaper found him.

Local police would refer to Williams as “Radio man,” when chasing him from his usual begging spots, Williams said.”

This news story about a man who has a voice that is a radio voice and with a help of a YouTube video, is a reminder that in this nation, the United States of America and in these first few days of a new year, 2011, people can and do have new and fresh beginnings offered to them.
