The ones who play a million notes and every lick they ever know in one song don't get it. But the ones who know touch and feel say tons more with a lot less. You're the real thing and you can hold a stage with Buddy Guy, one of the absolute greatest to have ever lived. I'll pick my jaw up off the floor now. 🤯

I wanted to go to this show so bad but was unable to make it. Seen Taj when he played Minneapolis and I thought this would be an awesome show with Buddy Guy farewell tour, a once in a life time event!!! Thanks for sharing!!

We were there. Taj Farrant opened the show with two standing ovations. And, then at the end of the evening, he played on stage with Buddy Guy and the little boy, not sure of his name. It was an amazing concert.

[@TheOnlyBayMusic]

We're so glad that you were able to be a part of it. His name is Bay Melnick VIrgolino and he was so honored to be on stage with Taj and his idol, Buddy Guy!

Well done! Your dad wasn't kidding. Your performance is excellent. I love that you sound bluesy the whole performance. We learn some licks and some keys, and it sounds OK, but I find getting the rhythm right and sustaining the blues atmosphere for a full 9-minute performance to be a demonstration of skill and talent. I notice that you can tap the tempo with the left foot (for example, @7:20), though the full-size guitar must feel quite heavy. You have good core strength and balance.

[@TheOnlyBayMusic]

Thank you so very much!! The guitar wasn't that heavy, but he is strangely strong for a little guy!! 🙂

When I saw Bay's cover of "Damn Right I Got The Blues" I was wondering if he would get a chance to play with Buddy Guy someday.

[@TheOnlyBayMusic]

It was such an honor!!! Thank you for your support!🙏

I saw Bay first time yesterday in Kids Collaboration and he just blew my mind. Other kids in that colab too, like Elen and Yoyoka and all of them. But the freaking guy is the youngest in the band... People polish their skills all their life to play on this level and this kid is only 9. Not that i haven't seen yonger music prodigies. I did, a lot. And you know what they say? No matter how young and good you're at somthing, there's always a younger chinese guy who is doing better. Not in this case, though.

Thank you so much for your support, Troy, it is truly appreciated!!! 🙏🎸
