Met Billy Strings 8/3/24 Penn State University selfies + video of show

Met Billy the next morning of night #2 in Happy Valley and he couldn't have been any sweeter, humble, down to earth, personable & friendly.(Happenstance selfie) ——-{@


Happenstance happens again so here we are! Walking down West College Ave Penn State with an old school West Side roommate and he's like, look the old Imperial Motor Lodge, and I was about to say, Robby Krieger The Doors stayed there when I met him, and there's Billy Strings 😎🌹 "Keep on keeping on, Billy, you're a national treasure"

(live video of)

Billy Strings fabulous rendition of Bob Dylan's Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35 ("they'll stone you" Dylan song "everybody must get stoned"). Of course Billy's unique, gifted, virtuoso voicing clearly makes it his own and the crowd eats it up! For not having any percussion / drums the low end is there from the big stand up bass and rocked the Bryce Jordan Center where Penn State plays hoops.
