Well I'll be dipped it shit. Here's a guy I forgot all about, super picker Billy Strings. I'd run into a video of him posted on YouTube a couple years ago (see it below) and didn't know anything about him. Today, lurking at the Internet Archive, I ran into a handful of songs by a "Billy Strings". The name sounded vaguely familiar, but the image that was with it did not. It was of a guy with medium length hair and, contrary to the video below (where he looks like a dust bowl era farmer), at the post he's wearing a tie-dye T-shirt. Then I clicked on a song. Absolutely, same dude. There's no mistaking his top-tier old timey pickin'. He has a good voice too, and his delivery in right on the money. Thankfully the tie- dye hasn't infected him.
