About myself...so I look up players that kill me. I Started with our resident killer, bluegrassdan and then peruses some Brian Sutton and somehow ended up on this video. I had never heard of Billy Strings before...my guess is he might get the eye-roll from traditionalists because he’s putting modern lyrics to it...and it’s probably as fun for a traditional bluegrass player to see this getting popular as it was for me to hear hip hop country on the radio...but I digress...Anyway, holy shit. Firstly, I’m blown away by freaking Billy Strings. Holy shit that flag picking solo...but I also really dig the guy doing the instructional video. It’s funny, more and more I find myself geeking on the fringes of music. Bluegrass, Jazz, Flamenco players, etc. Maybe it’s that feeling of finding something that feels new - at least to you - and it’s like rediscovering music all over again. Ok. Happiness over. Back to rap country. |

This is how I feel every time I hear one of you guys sing! It’s also why I hate going to the gym. Kind of nice to see your ego gets shattered for a change my friend 😁

Greg does it to me every time. One of the very few good things coming out of COVID is his daily free-form jam sessions. That's his son on drums. IMO one of the best all-around guitarists alive today. He's just never been in a world-dominating group.
