One of the things I love about Billy Strings is the way he obviously loves to learn and is so enamored with the playing of those he makes music with. The way he is transfixed by what Bela is playing at about <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="190">3:10</a> is something I have seen him do with Michael Cleveland, Tommy Emmanuel and Molly Tuttle as well. This is one gracious and kind musician.

Bela sat down and had a cup of coffee with him, totally flattered. That experience seems to sum up people you meet in the bluegrass world.

Wow, very cool story. I just saw Bela Fleck (along with Michael Cleveland, Sierra Hull and other greats) play last night. It was supposed to be an outdoor venue but due to poor weather the festival moved it last minute inside a local middle school auditorium. All I could think was how humble are these amazing artists to have the talent they have and play in a freaking middle school auditorium. Amazing concert that they put their everything into, as if they were on the Opry stage.

This is the most incredible music I have ever heard and I am almost 50. I have heard it all.

Christ they were so good I didn't read a single comment until they'd stopped. Haven't done that very often.

Insane!!! I have been dabbling with a guitar for years. I wish I could have the talent in just any 2 of the 20 fingers in that hurricane of strings and fingers. No matter what im doing it makes me smile to hear billy jam.

You can see how much they both appreciate one another's talents. They told us a beautiful story.

I love how they are talking to each other through music, their head moves like they are communicating, their face show emotion matching the playing, amaaaazing!
