That was among the most delightful things I've heard this week.

Although it's said there are thirteen hundred fifty two guitar pickers in Nashville, Billy Strings was born with a defect that allows his hands to do things other humans find impossible. Then I met Don Julin plucking that mandolin in this video and wonder if it's contagious.

Strings is the least pretentious musician of his generation, caring less about fame & fortune and more about the opportunity to play music. He was just happy to buy his mom a house. ...and maybe paying off his tattoo artist. LOL

Thanx for posting!
