Yes, Tony most definitely played the Ovation, I have owned for countless years, on Manzinita. I also own ..58957. Thank you for these beautiful words to honor him, Wil, and Brian... He loved and respected both of you... Tomorrow, June 8, is his birthday 🎂

It’s fun to watch great players who are handed legendary guitars to play and almost to a player they all just hold it and admire it like I can’t believe I’m holding this.

So true! It’s like they have been handed Excalibur and just take that moment to feel its weight and contemplate its magnitude

Wow. This is killer once it gets its legs! Man! Billy's farming shirt is also super sweet! 🤘

Billy is great. A lot of musicians of his stature might demand that they not be recorded at an impromptu session but that’s not Bluegrass culture and Billy is true to that tradition.

Always nice to hear from respectful & humble professionals 👍🇺🇸 Thank you guys 🙏🇺🇸

Good job, guys! Nice to hear one of Norman's songs on his guitar. Timeless. Important to consider the relationship between a musician and his/her instrument. No replacing it. Thanks for sharing.

Billy Strings is an incredible guitarist ! He is also quite a musical historian. He captured Norman's sound on Norman's Guitar, Dan Crary's sound on Dan's guitar, and Clarence White's sound on Clarence's Holy Grail. What a talent Mr. Strings is !

Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Great stuff and it reveals the respect they have for the music and the great players that have gone before them.

Two masters! The sound of Norman Blake’s ‘34 Martin (a slotted head, 12 fret D18 if I’m correct) is something, in particular in Billy’s hands, but I heard it played by others, it’s just incredible

Just wanted to point out the Bryan is playing the prototype for the Advanced Jumbo, not a J-35. Killer picking!

It has to be a Great guitar. I wonder how many minutes Billy's fingers touch guitar strings each day.

Wrong angle sorry.

@robmiller3464 Ай бұрын

Great video and playing. Video angle not so good and Brian needs to stop being sarcastic and condescending towards Billy. I’ve watched him do it in other videos as well. Billy just sits there politely and says nothing. Brian is a great picker but does not have the same dynamic as Billy!

@jpobrien5418 Ай бұрын

It's all in good fun man. Brian and Billy absolutely love each other. If you watch some other videos of them interacting Billy throws lots of jabs at Brian. They undoubtedly have a ton of mutual respect for each other and Brian is a mentor to Billy. There just having fun..

@robmiller3464 Ай бұрын

JP O’Brien, I totally get it about mentors and mutual respect, but do it in private. Sorry, but there’s an audience and it’s just professional courtesy in my opinion. Not a big deal but in years of watching I’ve never seen Billy respond, not even a smile, otherwise I would’ve seen there just kidding.

@jpobrien5418 Ай бұрын

@@robmiller3464 hey man, your entitled to your own opinion but I'm telling you that there just joking around. They do this every time they're together. It's actually quite funny. But hey, I get it, people have completely lost there sense of humor these days. It's a great video and an absolute treat every time these guys get together and play. I just enjoy it for what it is and try not to read so far into everything I see. Hope you have a great day brother.

@robmiller3464 Ай бұрын

JP O’Brien, thanks man for the comment. Appreciate our points of view. There is one video a couple years ago I’d love you to see if I can find it. But honestly I think you’re right about sense of humor in people. I love laughing, trust me. It’s good for your health and a nice way to make friends, but I’ve always had a unique ability to get a read on people over time with consistent behavior, and that’s mine on Brian. Anyway, happy pickin and thanks for sharing.
