I am so amazed by the wide range of music that Billy Strings does so well. I am 71 years old and know a lot of the older songs he plays and I am speechless. He must be a perfectionist. I could listen all night. So young to be so good.

I was once walking down Bloor street in Toronto on a busy summer Saturday night and a guy came sailing down the middle of the street on a skateboard, weaving through the gridlocked cars, playing Ramble On on an acoustic guitar. Life doesn't get much better than little moments like that.

Allman brother's style jamming ... fascinating!

I'm completely convinced there's nothing that this dude cannot do!!!🤘🤘🤘
