    Had an out of body experience this past February when I’m watching Eddie Barbash open with Sierra Hull for Cory Wong and I realize he is one half of the NYC street saxophone duo video that we see in this video. I had watched this video, without exaggeration, dozens of times as a young sax player. I’m a guitar player now but if you want to talk about nostalgia, that’s easily one of the most nostalgic moments I’ve had ever

    Cory, your skills as an interviewer are underappreciated, or at least overshadowed by your musical talent. You let the subject answer the questions and direct the conversation, instead of talking over them to interject your opinions, like so many youtubers/podcasters.

    Your interview with Billy Strings was a serious high point.

Really well done interview. The best I’ve seen of Billy Strings in conversation. Very revealing. Thanks so much.

    This is such an great interview. Billy Strings is such an amazingly humble dude. For me, one of the most impactful things he talks about is the fact that he has a therapist. Normalizing that kind of mental health maintenance is such an important thing. Thank you, Billy, for being honest about that aspect of your life. There is no shame in therapy. It's a form of medical treatment and there is never shame in taking care of ourselves.

    Billy is a real musician. Not about working out, playing to a metranome and being the best. He's about soul and that Trumps any musical skill. He's the difference between a orchestra or session player. He's a composer of beautiful art. A true musical idol. Musicians write emotion into our lives. They help us process them. It's not a sport of who can do the "hardest" thing. We do need some work horses to keep song's held together. To support the art of the artist. Without people like Billy music is boring. Thank you Billy. Would be beautiful to see him play with Mayer.
    Cory thank you, and your bandmates, for being the glue helping holding music up. I'll keep tuning in for shows like this, for sure!

    First time ever seeing your channel and I just have to say it was much appreciated! I came for Billy but as a music lover I watched and truly enjoyed every minute of it. New sub for sure!
    I saw Billy play open mic night in my hometown 10 years ago and knew he was something special. I saw him busking, playing in a bookstore basement for 20 people and countless times at local bars with Don Julian. Hung out and had beers, smoked a little weed and always hoped he would find his way.
    This interview shows me he really has done just that. It’s been several years since I’ve seen him but definitely making it a priority this year whether he comes to northern Michigan or not! I’m so happy he found his way for others to enjoy his talents!
