ASHLAND, Va. (CNN/WWBT) - A musician in Virginia is gaining recognition for his ability to play the acoustic guitar, despite being born without arms.

He has become an Internet sensation since a recent clip from a music festival was posted on YouTube.

Dennehy says he does not let obstacles get in the way of his passion.
