    Good job, Wyatt! I am Billy strings Aunt and I am super proud of him. So glad that you were able to take part in such a momentous occasion as honoring Doc Watson and how cool is it that Billy strings called you up? He knows good mandolin playing when he hears it! Keep on going kid!

      Wyatt killed it. And your nephew is pretty cool too. So glad he does what he does, I was in need of a artist or group who could handle the traditional tunes and their own and I stumbled upon Billy. And I have been listening to every show and going to every show I can since. Give that boy a pat on the back when you see him.

    Billy Strings just jumped up a couple notches in my book, bringing up the kids. That's so cool. And Billy was already at the top of my list.

    I adore this! This is exactly what we need, more young folk getting into bluegrass. I know Doc and Bill were looking down on y'all and grinning the entire time.

    WYATT!!! I was at the show. I don't know if you could tell from the stage, but you got by far the loudest reaction from the crowd all night, and you absolutely earned it! I'll sleep well tonight knowing the future of this wonderful genre of music is in your hands. You're already a world class talent in the mandolin, and I know you'll only get better. Keep at it, young man, and Billy will eventually be a guest performer at a show you're headlining, not the other way around! He'll feel privileged for the invite, to boot. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for tickets to your inevitable tour dates.

      @@matthewcollins5344 man, my 23 year old baby sis who barely likes old-time/bluegrass was going wild for Mr. Wyatt Ellis. That boy has IT, and his IT is gonna carry him to the top in, at most, 5 years. Guarantee this boy is gonna be selling out venues on his name alone in no time.

    Nice picking. And a perfect tribute to Doc, and Bill too.
    About forty years ago me and my ex wife stopped by Doc's house, and ended up spending the whole afternoon visiting with him, his wife and daughter. They even fed us. Some of the nicest folks I've ever met.
