I can't believe I'm saying this but this level of musicianship has not been seen in Bluegrass since the star studded lineup of New Grass Revival.......Sam Bush......Bela Fleck......John Cowan......and Pat Flynn.

He calls himself Billy Strings because that was the name his aunt gave him when he was a little kid dragging around his first guitar. His family then picked up on it and it stuck.

Billy said his Hippie Aunt have him the nickname, Billy said he was learning to play and his aunt would walk by a say look at little Billy Strings playing. Maybe not verbatim but very close to what Billy said in an interview I saw.

So I had to comment because of that wooden stand behind you, with the books piled up on top...we had that exact thing in my house growing up! Late 70's era...it has a hole in the top, and a big orange ashtray fit into it! :D I think it may still be in a shed at my mom's house, but I believe the ashtray is lost.

i actually prefer this particular live version over the studio recording absent all the reverb on the vocals. Wish Billy would have a permanent fiddle player live like he does on his recordings.
