'Begging for the Brass':
 
Without expectations, only hope in their hearts, two homeless musicians lend their souls to the street as their dog begs for more. 
Psalm 33:3
"Sing to Him a new song;Play skillfully with a shout of joy."
3 From heaven the LORD looks down 
       and sees all mankind;
 14 from his dwelling place he watches 
       all who live on earth-
 15 he who forms the hearts of all, 
       who considers everything they do.
 16 No king is saved by the size of his army; 
       no warrior escapes by his great strength.
 17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; 
       despite all its great strength it cannot save.
 18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, 
       on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
 19 to deliver them from death 
       and keep them alive in famine.
 20 We wait in hope for the LORD; 
       he is our help and our shield.
 21 In him our hearts rejoice, 
       for we trust in his holy name.
 22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, 
       even as we put our hope in you.
