When I was a 15 year old Aussie kid I heard Stevie Ray Vaughan for the first time. I'm now a massive blues fan. When I was 50 odd years old I heard Billy and Molly for the first time.....
This is such incredible playing! In a world full of sorrow, deceit, and sadness, Molly and Billy give us all something to believe in again. You are all amazing and thank you for pulling me out of this funk. Nothing like the blues to cure the blues!
In a perfectly fair world, these two would be at the tip-top of the Hot 100 charts week after week. Bring back music education in schools so that future generations not only know what good music sounds like (regardless of genre), but will excel in STEM.
@@rayray8687 I decided to research this so I could give you some evidence. It turns out that the situation isn’t as bad as I had been told it was. While music education has declined, 92% of school systems still offer music education.
@@Maydoggie: I’m relieved to hear that. I was the first in my family to work as a professional musician but all my current family members had at least basic music education in school and everyone in my immediate family plays an instrument. I would be distraught to think that music would be removed from school curricula. Thanks for reassuring me!
@@Maydoggie It's the record producers who need music education. They keep producing and pushing crap on the public while the truly talented musicians are pushed into a corner. Kudos to the ones that keep it alive and real.
this post is by billy the kid... the historical Billy the Kid was born in Pinos Altos, New Mexico ... my little dog Punkin is from there... y'all have a great day too... please ✌️
Two of the best singers and musicians in the world. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Thank you both and all of the people behind you that compliment your beautiful music. 😮
left too. digs into the beat in this number makes sure it keeps a swing. Strong attack on both fronts. You play like that, you will never have a still audience. Guitar is percussive, and she drives this railroad beat nice.
Quite possibly my favorite concert of all time and I've been going to Merlefest for over a decade. I feel blessed to have seen this once in a lifetime performance. Thank you!
Since listening to people like Sierra Hull and the McCoury's, never have I appreciated the mandolin as a bluegrass instrument as I do now. A good mandolin player is lifeblood to a great bluegrass band.
Wow, great electric tone on her guitar, with a note of steel guitar in there. Never mind that however, it's all about the vocals and carrying a song. She checked that box.
That’s some serious flat picking by Molly Tuttle and Billy Strings, and the other pickers were right on time. We need to hear way more of bluegrass music.

Molly's singing just continues to get better and better.
MMFT
Molly and Billy have both evolved themselves into excellent vocalists.
@@jysmtl Not only that - they're both exceptionally talented guitarists.
Molly puts more into her voice, making it sound better. Two great pickers.
I love to see these two supporting each other and smiling huge smiles all along the way!
At one time they shared a house together. Love to have heard the pickin sessions
I love how Billy watches her play and genuinely appreciates her. They are both extraordinary
Molly and Billy, the 2 best pickers out there !!!
Molly’s younger brother Sullivan who plays with AJ Lee is even better. You should hear him do some Dylan tunes from “Blood on the Tracks”
Define "best."

What a wonderful performance!!! Molly Tuttle has an exceptional singing voice!!!😄
I think that her voice has matured
It sure is sweet!

When did music education leave schools? I had it, my children had it, my grandchildren have it - is it gone in your area?

These guys are just the best - once in a generation (or two) talent! I've said it before - the future of our beloved bluegrass music is in good hands!
We are so lucky to see these two playing together. On Doc's 100th birthday.
Like seeing Doc and Tony play together.
Two of the best flat pickers on the same stage. How can you not love it.
Love how attentive Alex is to what he is accompanying. He really tunes into to the emotional delivery.
Molly and Billy are too hard to beat ! What an amazing couple young kids! Molly’s voice is phenomenal! What a very beautiful young lady!
The band is great. Molly Tuttle has a very nice country bluegrass voice.
These two need to tour the UK together next year or whenever they can ...they have both been here separately 😢
It doesn't get any better than Molly and Billy together.
the two best guitar pickers in the World... on one stage... first thing in the morning... gonna be a real good day 😌 thanks 🙏🏼 ✌️
this post is by billy the kid... the historical Billy the Kid was born in Pinos Altos, New Mexico ... my little dog Punkin is from there... y'all have a great day too... please ✌️
Love these young people playing traditional Blue Grass. Thanks for this video. So nice to show honor and respect to the past greats.
Just heard of this woman. Count me in as a big fan. Love her. This is great.
This song really set the whole show for me. Molly and Billy were beautiful together. Was a great ride.
A lot of great players out there. Just go to festivals and find em. Billy and Molly percolated up to the top. The future music is in good hands
I love the way they all love the music over themselves. What a great bunch of musicians 😊❤
Old Doc would be proud of this Generation keeping the flame.
OMG I love the Tony Rice recording of this cool song but the way Molly sings and plays it? OMG LOVE IT!!❤
All of you are just insanely good. This is great. What red blooded Male isn't in love with Molly--such a talent She is...Jack Baker NJ
I'm not.

Show of a lifetime!
Happy Birthday Doc!!!
happy birthday uncle ARTHEL !!!!
I was at this show.... couldn't have been any better! 😁👍
Yes it could have been better...if I had been there to see it, too! LOL!
She is such a natural. Singing and playing so relaxed. Her right hand is exceptional. Also a wonderful teacher.

Amazing sound, a proper tribute to all who have ever sung this marvelous song.
I feel so blessed to have been at this show. Truly incredible!!!!
Hey Molly-- Come on to the Midwest-- Shoefest and Frankfort fest await you!!!!
The time signature on this song is insane, such a talented bunch of folks. Thanks for posting!
Yeah, it’s a straight song in a straight timing, nothing insane about it , 3 chord turnaround in 4/4
@@guitarman1477 Yeah ok, but it isn't straightforward for some people , which is fine .. We've all got to learn
The vocal has that little break in the verse that is easy to mess up.
@@guitarman14772 chords
Just absolutely and utterly incredible and lovely too. Thank you so much
Quite possibly my favorite concert of all time and I've been going to Merlefest for over a decade. I feel blessed to have seen this once in a lifetime performance. Thank you!

I like how when she starts pickin' the melody Billy looks and over and I'm sure is saying to himself, "that's some fine guitar pickin' right there"
Molly is awesome...as good as anyone up there, and would be my preferred live music before bed singing me to sleep...! LIVE😮

I agree. Walker is the Billy Strings of Mandolin players. He is the unsung hero of BMFS.
Bill Monroe knew that!!! But he also recognized how important the fiddler was!!!
unbelievable.
Great Delmore Brothers song.
Love these two Molly & Billy
Excellent!! From France.
Thanks for coming!!
How fun was that? Bravo everyone.
Man your fast getting this up 🌟✨🌟. Amazing show 🎶♥️🎶

The ladies always dress so nice
Sounds nice
