    Stumbled on this duo (I knew of Thile but didn’t know of Strings), man what great music. Acoustics, mostly bluegrass/blues, great covers.

    And in this first video, great piano (and kick drum). Worth listening with headphones to hear the details

    Btw I came across them watching this video (album, but you can find fun live versions of it), great Dylan song, great cover by Chris Thile and Brad Mehldau here.

      Strings is great. Same finger picking style my brother played until he lost the strength in his left hand.

        Billy’s a great picker.

        But being old school, I’ll stick with Doc and Tony Rice:
