If you need some happiness today...This is 2 hours of Billy Strings playing with his dad.

This is one of those things that if you have the time...it's worth a listen. By the time you're done, you'll be in a good mood.

Billy Strings' biological father died of a heroin overdose when Billy was 2 years old. Terry Barber raised Billy as his own, and taught him to play guitar. Terry Barber is a fantastic picker in his own right, and Billy's love for the man he calls "Dad" comes through in this.

I think this is heartwarming...If you need something like this today, give it a listen.

It didn't hurt that the other performers included Béla Fleck, Sam Bush, Molly Tuttle, Jerry Douglas, Tony Triska and a LOT of others:
