    If not for Billy the world would have never discovered Terry Barber. Makes you wonder how many extremely talented musicians are out there that only play at home and never get discovered. There is probably thousands of people that can play and sing like the greats that work a day job and play in the evenings for fun.

    Let me be serious here....this duet is more than special. In my humble opinion, it will remain as a humble reminder to Billy Strings career as his penultimate work. Having him here, play so seamlessly and jollily with his father is simply so profound to watch, To see the the man who taught Billy Strings what he knows play alongside him, in an eternal paternal bond, is more than beautiful. I am moved to tears multiple times, watching the love these two share emulate itself in the musical performance that is this video. I love you Billy Strings, and moreso Congratulations Papa Strings!!! You earned every moment!!!

    I believe I know Terry Barber!! I never met his son because my son's father and I separated about 1984. Terry Barber, his mother Doreen would all come from Michigan, to visit Doreen's brother John Ebright, which was my son's grandfather!! They would bring a friend Bubby and Bubby, Terry and my son's father would break out the guitars and play all night! Terry's mother Doreen and her brother John would sing! She did always sing The Little White Church, but she would also sing My Little Green Valley. It was an honor to sit there and listen and tap along. They are all so talented in that family!! I almost had a heart attack when I ran across this video and I recognized Terry.

    My Dad, rest his soul, played ukulele. So did his dad, my Pop. I picked it up when I was 11 and learned a few songs. It made it easier to learn guitar a few years later. That was 60 years ago. My youngest son picked up guitar from me. But, I still do a mean 5 Foot Two on the Uke; and thank my Dad for giving me a lifetime of enjoyment, and thank Billy for carrying the torch. It's in good hands.
