This is why the Internet is great - Ted Williams became an Internet sensation
A homeless voice has the sound of a
fairy tale
The smooth baritone of Ted Williams became an Internet sensation yesterday
when a Dispatch.com video compelled millions of viewers to take a closer
look (and listen) at a homeless panhandler who sometimes works the Hudson
Street ramp off northbound I-71.

31, said Frank Willson, director of operations. (WBNS is owned by The
Dispatch Printing Company, which also owns The Dispatch.)

will be presented this morning on WNCI, where camera crews from NBC's Today
show and other national networks are expected to be on hand. read more
