    I listen to Billy strings every day. So underated. If he ever reads these I'd like him to know his music reaches the Welsh mountains in Wales UK & thanks for helping get my baby daughter to sleep her first 6 months of being on this earth 🙏✌️🤗

      @@sashka9399 He really just got going a few years ago and has already played at The Grammys and with a ton of other famous musicians. To me, it seems like he is rising very quickly. He's great though. My husband just showed me a picture of Billy with a friend of ours before a show. I feel so lucky to get to witness him in all his glory. Music is kinda our life though.

      ​@@mindysmith2087 Yeah. Sadly it's mostly with old people and older media like tv and radio. His internet fame was basically kickstarted with the "green shirt guy" meme, which gave him a good boost but sadly it died down.

    Your music really motivated me recently.
    I came off 6 years of disability payments after getting 4 hernia from a scaffolding incident where i saved 2 over my mates lives.
    You inspire me.
    To do better.

    Well I was walking down the street just the other day
    I had a double headed nickel and a bill to pay
    There was bubblegum a'blistered on the hot cement
    And I was waiting like patience on a monument
    Well I rolled a little spliff and tightened up my shoes
    And I went to the corner where I lit the fuse
    Disgusted by the loneliness I couldn't lose
    I sat and wrote a little verse to the 'rona blues
    I said I always wanna do the things I used to do
    But everybody got a job and works enough for two
    We could have a little party at the end of the day
    But everybody had a family and moved away
    So I'm sitting with a paper soakin' on my tongue
    And feeling better than I did back when I was young
    Now I'm seeing music that nobody else can see
    With all the colors like a symphony surrounding me

    Had no idea this is what he does. Went in blind….not knowing a thing about him or his music and was so powerfully moved. Ecstatic with what I experienced. The lyrics, the stellar transcendent playing by all members, Billy’s vocals, the totally mind melting light show and the ultra heady, super kind and earthy tour scene. Felt like a new spring, a new season of renewal of everything into cherished and had missed about the best aspects of Grateful Dead tour.
    And then it dawned on me…..he’s just getting going.
    His best is still ahead for decades to come. He’s legendary now, imagine when he’s an elder…3O or 40 years deep as a touring artist. I have no doubt he will be inscribed upon the Book of the Worlds Greatest Masters of Music. We are in for a serious treat people. What a blessing

    Reminds me of when the Band first hit the scene with Big Pink. It was such a startling leap forward and their musicianship and songwriting chops just floored everyone. Same thing here with these guys.
