Is that the old man is young at heart, or is it the young man is old? Doesn't matter though, music transcends SO many things. I also felt moved by what you commented on. 😊
My god.. the looks Del gives Billy -clearly approved and impressed. The looks Billy gives Dale while singing together. Those harmonies. So genuine. This is a generational delight. They brought out the best in each each other. WOW. Special.
@@Luke-pk9fe This is very true. His voice is as high and lonesome as any of the greats, and still original. A truly rare combination to have both incredibly high caliber guitar picking with a voice to match. Excited to hear what the future brings for him....and the incredible players he's surrounded himself with in his band. Their talent is often overlooked, too.
My favourite song of the moment . Love how Billy and Del harmonise , both have powerful melodious voices. We are so lucky to have uTube is all I can say. Thanks to all the lovely musicians for sharing.
Del is worth every dime the ticket says and then another dime! He burns it down with young folk and doesn't just do it for some credit... Most of the legends sound bad or keep going for the money. Del kept in motion like a locomotive and he isn't stopping til he's carried off to victory!
Bill Monroe and Del did it no better on vocals. This is perfection and and that we are alive to witness the passing of the torch.. and its amazing to hear and see!!!!
Awwww i lost my pepere, tbats grandfather in French for those of you don't know,and he was the only man in my life I was 14, Del reminds me of him, he loved bluegrass and anything american,it don't get more American than bluegrass he would have lived Billy strings!!!!
And yet again the torch is passed from one generation to the next. God bless those who come and those who pass. Del is truly a legend, and Billy will be also.............
Always good to see Billy with Del, they share something timeless, and both appreciate it. The music lives, grows, and will be with us long into the future.
What a great tune and love the way it's played like Monroe and Del played it.. Excellence . Del and Billy vocals sound amazing together. We are lucky to have them and have Billy carry the torch
I am very concerned at how addicted I am to listening to this. It's just something about the way his voice sounds that I can't stop playing it over and over.
I like watching billy throw cords at dels sons. He's playing cords exactly like del does. So he's honored del in front of his kids out of respect for that elder. That's an elder and not a old man. I canr listening its new and wonderful.
I have not listened to anything non Billy strings since I first heard him play wharf rat at the capital theater, then I heard dust in a baggie and it was over for me and anyone else
Perfect! When you were still young, well younger, I looked forward to pairings like this. Appalachian style calling, or singing with that kind of projection, I dearly loved teaching that in my days as a teacher. You have got it ol son. You deserve to be on that stage.
Del McCoury! I've never seen him sing or pick without that big old smile on his face. And I first saw him play in person in 1969. He is 80+ years old and still has the pipes! WOW!! A legend!!
Thats the way I feel...hes definitely got an old soul, cool as hell...and full of so much talent!! He'll be playin us damn good music til the day he dies...its in his heart and soul, that's plain to see
There’s just something about music that bridges suits & ties/fringed vests.....and it all makes sense! Del’s like a loving and encouraging father.....with a smile that is so endearing!
TRUE THAT! Although I can happily live in a world without Fringed Vests..... Just my Personal Opinion Good to see this happen on stage... even on a RU-vid Video... Magic transferring
I just love how the man to Billy's left gives his appreciative nod right from the first few singing notes,,,, the old veteran passing the torch to the next generation,,,, that man knows how he was once the Billy Strings of his generation,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 30 yrs ago,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, it is a beautiful thing
Billy Shows respect to the legends of Bluegrass. 👍Del and his boys look like they enjoyed playing with the future of Bluegrass. There voices harmonize very well! Dels big smiles tells it all. ❤love this much respect for each other.
Wow Joyce, and here I thought I was a musician. I hand my mandocello and my ears to you- I totally missed that the first time through. Great catch! I went back and enjoyed that the second time around. That’s what I love about the replies section on songs like this- you can appreciate what you hear even more when others share their own interpretation of the performance. Haha, I just got so blissful and Billy’d out that I might never have noticed this without your comment. Thank you Joyce!
Del is certainly the torch bearer for trad. grass. But he has the grace to encourage his sons to go forward and make a place for themselves. And to encourage people like Billy who I think should feature his vocal ability as much as his playing. He has the edge to carry the music into the future.
