Billy Strings does the music of Doc Watson

[Doc Shapiro]

There's still a lot of life in Bluegrass.  Some of the up and coming youngsters are kicking butt.  The Petersons, Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull, and Billy Strings.  Here's Billy doing some Doc Watson classics:

Saw Doc and Merle Watson  at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival many years ago.  Playing with them was Emmy Lou Harris......It does not get any better than that!  A tip of the hat to Billy Strings.

Very nice, indeed!
I'm very partial to great bluegrass, especially hot banjo players.

I have to chuckle with admiration, the mouth-breather banjo player.
The vacant look on his face shows his inward focus on his craft.

Thanks for posting this... incredibly talent here.
