Woohoo! Just got Billy Strings tickets!

The show is in November and I’m taking one of my oldest, dearest friends. We have seen tons of music together but lost touch for many years (my fault). No surprise when we reconnected a few weeks ago Billy was the first one mentioned when the conversation turned to music. Neither of us have seen him live.

We are both super excited to be able go out and see live music again and extra super excited to see Billy.

We saw him with Béla Fleck at Carnegie Hall in NYC in January, and it was quite a show!

I’ve seen Béla many times: solo, with others, and twice with the Flecktones. It’s always wonderful.

In fact, Ralphie reminded me the last time we went to a show together it was this one:
