That lady in the back was killing me…..on her phone and seemingly oblivious to the greatness that was right beside her. Billy is soooo talented it’s ridiculous.
@@AthelstanEngland I've watched almost every Billy video on here while "working." I close my office door and jam when his live shows are streamed on Mixlr.
Bro I was just telling myself that. It’s crazy that such a talent just comes out one day and it’s understood by us all that it’s on a different level entirely.
Bonjour François, Point je ne connais, ce monsieur et encore moins cette chanson. Comme d'habitude, une belle interprétation. Merci de m'avoir fait connaître ce chanteur et chanson. Bonne journée. Bises. Yvon
Collings guitars are far superior to Martins. If you can find one. And Taylor is making an all around better product as well. Matin's rested on its laurels as America's Guitar for far too long. They're not at all innovative like Taylor is and their QC is awful. But Billy Strings would sound great playing a Daisy Rocks.
Oh, man. He must be one helluva guitar player if his name is "strings." It's uncanny that someone with a last name like that would then turn out to be so gifted on a guitar. Does anybody else think that's an amazing coincidence?
I don’t, it’s not his real name, lol. ‘Billy Strings’ is a made up stage name - his real name is William Apostol. Sorry, didn’t mean to burst the bubble.
I think maybe it was his aunt that named him Strings. Kids been playing since he was a wee lad. His dad is awesome too, if you like the music. It was only about three or four years ago a friend turned me on to his music.
Written by Allen Reynolds, first recorded by Crystal Gayle, a country hit in 1976. Unquestionably its best recording was a live performance by Doc Watson (with minimal backup by David Holt), available on Bottom Line Archive: Doc Watson, 2002.
Ha ha ha - Oh, man. That lady is just standing there texting, oblivious that something spectacular is going on right within spitting distance. God save us from our phones! :(
Long John. I was so blessed to have heard Doc and Merle a half dozen times. Wonderful concerts. My favorite guitarist and great storyteller.Even in an auditorium It felt like I was on his front porch! Heard Billy too, a few times. He carries on the tradition properly and adds to it.
