TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Airport Piano Player makes over $60,000 in tips thanks to one stranger

Crazy story out of Atlanta that will make you smile.

A 66-year-old guy in Atlanta named Tonee Carter has been playing piano at the Atlanta airport to give people a little mood music as they wait at the gate or during their layover. Recently while he was playing a popular motivational speaker named Carlos Whittaker was walking by and noticed that no one else was paying attention to him and the tip jar was empty. He felt for the guy so he posted a video to his 200,000 Instagram followers asking them to send tips on Venmo. He quickly raised $10,000 30 minutes! The video quickly went viral and over the next week it was up over $70,000!

Amazing.
