A teenager born without arms who plays guitar with his feet has become an Internet sensation after a video of his musical prowess hit YouTube earlier in the summer.
George Dennehy, 18, uploaded his performance of The Goo Goo Dolls song Iris to the video-sharing website in June. It has so far attracted just under half a million hits.
But that almost pales into insignificance compared to what happened next.....

Bio
Miracle Music -- George is capturing attention all over the web (and the world) for his unique talents. Because he was born without arms, he sings and plays music from his heart using his feet. George also has a powerful message to share. Because George has overcome so many challenges in his own life, he believes that every individual has a purpose and absolutely anything is possible. People are surprised by his life story, including his brush with death in an Romanian orphanage and his adoption by his U.S. family at the age of one. George started his musical journey by learning to play the cello at the age of eight. He advanced in classical music until he was able to play cello with regional orchestras. With the cello as his launching pad he has taught himself guitar, electric bass and basic piano. Regardless of the setting people in his audience are always inspired, deeply touched, and often realize that their own goals are very much within reach.
