1. Billy looks so young there.

Maybe it was a couple years ago. I'm not a big fan of bluegrass, but I'd pay up to see Billy Strings.

If anyone can bring the genre into the mainstream, it's him. The kids are alright.

Thanx for posting.

2. He used to room with Molly Tuttle - She is amazing as well

I can only imagine the impromptu jams they played.

3. How do people do that?

I learned at a young age that I'd never play the guitar. As a teen I got off the school bus with a classmate who said she could teach me. Her parents weren't home so we sat on her bed as she tried to show me how to play chords. She grew frustrated and gave up after about five minutes. She then began searching for any hidden talents I might have so I was doomed to never learn. I knew right then I'd never be able to play. I was probably the only kid in my class who wanted to be a concert promoter instead of rock star.

I'm so uncoordinated I can't wipe my butt with my left hand. My left hand is so unusable I married two left handed girls just out of my fascination of them. I don't know how Brits shift gears in English cars, and I'll never understand how people can play guitars and pianos. At least I can play my stereo. Loud.

4. My go to line was always -

I play a mean stereo.

I also sucked at playing guitar and gave up as a teen - although I did last longer than 5 minute - at guitar any way
