      I was there that night and let me be the first to say that he wasn't the only one saying "wtf" myself included. I still say that when I look back at that night. I hadn't ever experienced anything like it as far as music goes and I've seen them all(I'm an old head) these guys are legitimately the tightest band I've ever seen and they continuously out do themselves each time they play. The best BMFS show is the NEXT BMFS show. And he's doing it, selling out well in advance every venue and arena they perform in and with traditional stringed instruments. You could get all the great bluegrass pioneers and contemporary greats still alive all together on one bill under one roof and they still wouldn't be able to sell out one single night in some of the places Billy plays. I know now what the term "melting your face off" means...

They were asked to be a continuous act but my uncles wife , Hilda, wouldnt move from NC, LOL. Lots of stories. Ive heard lots of bluegrass and played many years. With this said. I will tell you that I have never seen guitar talent like Billy Strings. Never. Not acoustic. Billy is the Jimi Hendrix of the acoustic guitar. And he is still getting even better. Love how he mixes bluegrass with the rock, psych and other similar genres. Absolute and complete talent. AS well as all the band members also. Incredible

But he always took me to a little diner in my hometown where him and half a dozen old timers would sit and solve the world’s problems. Or he’d harness a couple ponies and take a drive and we’d both be singing “oh my darlin clementine” at the top of our lungs. He had me fooled that the louder I’d sing, the faster the ponies would trot. Of course he was just tapping the reigns below my eyes. That farm and his way of life are all but gone now. My kids are growing up in the suburbs. Kinda pity them in a way.

      Thats the true jam band way. Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Grateful Dead, and some prog rock groups do this. Really impressive stuff. I think thats why Billy Strings speaks to other genre fans a lot. People who like psych rock or jam bands really tuning in to some bluegrass for the first time because of Billy.

And the willingness to leave what no longer serves us behind. It's like an ode to "I am, That I am." But Billy's referring to Billy and his path to his higher self. That's atleast how I have internalized it. Great tune, phenomenal actually.

You have gotten better and better over the years, although that seems impossible after each show because it seems as if you have brought us all to levels that seem unsurpassable. Boston last summer were two shows I thought could not be any better. Please come back to Boston! I am an old Jerry Garcia fanatic (I saw him over 100 times) and you have made music amazing, and sacred again.

Could listen and watch the skills of these guys endlessly.
