    I saw John Play that in Bloomington, IN a few times. He passed through a couple times in the 90s when a friend of mine booked a club called the Wild Beet where I played occasionally. That friend invited me to hang out with John and his entourage between shows. When I told John how I enjoyed his music, he replied in his low voice, " Thank you, you're easily entertained."

    Talk about being well and truly in the groove! Just excellent. Perfect slap bass underlines, glorious blends of banjo picking styles and then there's that singing guitar lead of Billy's. For me, it just doesn't get any better than this. As fantastic as they all sound now, I can't imagine how incredible they are going to sound in ten or twenty years. Sure hope I live to hear it!

  • @RandyStrubleBackingTracks

    Billy is fantastic!! I just recently became a fan. Other than the fact that he and his band are great musicians, is the passion I feel coming from them as I watch and listen. There are few that truly have that and fewer that can make the listener/ viewer feel their passion.
