    Dude is now a Grammy award winning musician and sporting a Cryptopsy shirt. This guy literally sparked the bluegrass ear back up in me. Earl Scruggs, Clinch Mountain Boys/Ralph Stanley, Roy Clark and on and on. Mad props and much respect.

      I'm 53 and just discovered this guy today...wow. His playing is amazing. His story? The fact that he has come out of it a half way decent thinking human is amazing. I'm sure there is a lot of healing that will have to be done in his heart over the years but man...this kid is actually amazing in a lot of ways...impressive human! =) This story really got to me along with a short bio a fan made...I look forward to seeing where he goes with music later in his life if I make it that long hehe...

It's so incredibly rare nowadays to not only run across something that used to belong to you that had so much personal history and sentimental value, but to also have the current owner--a complete stranger--just gift it back to you out of the kindness of their heart. That's really touching, man.

    Over 20 years ago, my dad thought he had cancer. He gave me and my brother a right each that he had worn for years. I wore it every day. I was working at a bowling alley at the time and lost it. It literally hurt my soul to lose that ring. 2 weeks later, I was fixing the rug at the door where people came in. 100s if not 1000s had walked on that rug. I was fixing it because it was crooked. And there lay that ring under the rug. Amazing feeling. I still have that ring. 30 plus years later.
    Good story, Billy.

They are both gone now, but I still commune with them occasionally with the starvation box, as Arthel Watson used to call it. Thank you so much for your Dad's guitar story. It reminded me of some of mine, like the time I had to sell my 1941 D28, but you know, we're just taking care of them for the next guy___like you! God bless you, Billy.

    I'm pretty sure there's nothing much I could say about this wonderful,moving story or this incredibly talented,humble fellow with an amazing soul that hasn't been said already. But, I can definitely relate to his Dad's feeling's of connection between his Mother and his guitar. I lost the most important woman in the world to me a few years ago now and as I try to write this I'm having a hard time seeing the words through the tears. I miss my Mom every day. My Mom went to college to study piano but ended up being a teacher most if her life.But,Dad bought her a Baldwin upright and I grew up listening to her play. I have played guitar for years but had not bought a new one in a long time and had all but given it up. so as some gift of solace, I bought a beautiful one soon after Mom passed and I even named it after her. I try to hold Marsha every day. Thanks for the story and I hope I didn't take up too much of anyone's time.

I was just a young man raising 4 daughters.. Trying my hardest, working two jobs and keeping up with Mortgage, Utilities and Groceries.. I have tried looking for that Old Guitar, but it would be like, Hitting the Lottery.. I do have Faith and I believe through the Power of GOD and Prayer, Maybe one day I’ll own that Guitar again.. 😊

    Just stumbled across your music last week...amazing to say the least. That story is gut-wrenchingly beautiful. You get out of life what you put in...and more. I'm a bigger fan now than I was before. You keep it real. Keep picking Billy...keep picking mate

      I'm also from Michigan , which is one of the few States that have 10 cents returns for bottles so it adds up quickly. Christ I was just saying I know how he feels collecting cans to get by when you don't have alot of money.

      Yep he sure did... That is the only kind of bands there is where we are from. Billy was amazing even as a child. He really took off at around 17 or 18 though. I got to watch greatness in the my own living room and by my bonfires. He is one of my little brothers best friends. I used to drag him all over to different parties and make him play. 😆 We call him Boomer here though.

    My dad died. Left me a acoustic Gibson. Higher up Family member took it while I was at work an then step mom took it from him. Give anything for it if found it in a Nashville pawn shop. You play it an he'll remind u of the way he played it. Remember one time out of knowhere I started playing "out in the west" never played in my life but it just clicked

    Billy, I'm so glad you are sharing your talent with the world. We don't all grow up in the ideal circumstances. You have to make the best with what you've got. And you are.
