Another shopper caught Genavieve Linkowski’s impromptu performance and shared the video on social media Saturday, where it has been viewed more than 700,000 times.
I was shopping at a Thrift store in Flint, when I heard this incredible voice coming from the back of the store. There was a girl by the name of Genavieve singing and playing a donated piano while waiting for her mom to finish shopping. The guy in the blue shirt, (who is shown later pinging the keys, "jamming" with Genavieve) can't read music and has never had a piano lesson and he is AMAZING, as you will see in the video I posted down below in a separate video ( the first few posts.) *GENAVIEVE invites you to follow her on Instagram, her name is @singer4jesus and her snapchat name is @genlink16! Genavieve's Facebook music page is https://m.facebook.com/gennalaurenmusic/ She would LOVE to share her passion for music and her dreams with you!

She was about to stop when the crowd asked her to continue.
“Really? Keep going?” Linkowski said in the video.
She continued to play.
She is been even more surprised since the video has gone viral.
"Yesterday morning, one of my friends texted me and he was like, 'Oh, you're famous' and I was like, 'What?!'" she told WJRT. "And I'm looking and I was seeing all of this and I was just flabbergasted. Like, nothing like this has ever happened to me."
Hello everyone! The other day, I was at a thrift store singing and playing the piano, just because they were selling...
