    Man that was some hot pickin'! Been going to see Billy since he got a band together. He just keeps getting better every time I see him. Love that kid! And Mr. Bela Fleck...it just doesn't get better. A true master of his instrument, and arguably the best banjo player ever.

    Bela plays with such grace and ease, its reminiscent of Chett Atkins and his effortless shredding of the Gretch. Both masters of their instruments. Then there is Billy, he's just too young to be that good, but it's real, he's bound to be the best flat picker ever if he keeps at it. It warms my soul to see young talent keeping the flame alive! Thank you guys, that was just amazing.

    Why do I keep getting the Proud Father and Son Eager to Impress him vibe every time I see them playing together. I think that is what it looks like when you have a living legend playing with a legend in the making who both have absolute and respect and admiration for each other that it transcends the moment and literally emanates a familial type love that sweeps you in and won’t let you go until they are damn sure and ready to. I put this music up against any with utter confidence and conviction.

    Billy: I'm addicted to Bela's new double album and I love the rendeding you did here. This is beyond the beyond craazy good. I hope My Bluegrass Heart keeps going and going and going... like the old Goat Rodeo sesions that Thile was in. You are a very gifted musician... and Bela is a musical genius! In fact everyone associated with this project has simply raised the genre a whole bunch higher - if that were possible. THANKS.

      @@MusicCityMaven I am pretty sure that I noticed you at the BMI rooftop. I don't really remember what you looked like. I didn't stay very long because I ran into some friends I know from the Cayamo cruise (are you familiar?) from Chicago and they were heading to the Memphis Groove and Grind after a few songs and I wanted to hang with them. I'm from NorCal and hadn't seen them since February. It was my first Americanafest and I had THE BEST TIME. My first day could not have been more perfect. Started out with the Sheryl Crow show. All day was back to back hours of fun!
