I'm 69 and Billy is singing songs that I heard my Mama sing when I was a youngun Great memories

[@alexkalish8288]

I was waiting for 50 years to hear a better version than Quicksilver used to do with Jerry , It was worth the wait.

[@debrabeck9630]

Doc Watson would be so proud to hear Billy play this song. Bravo, Billy and band!

[@thomasknapp7236]

This is not a doc Watson song...but Billy's version is amazing.

[@debrabeck9630]

@@thomasknapp7236 , yes. I know it’s an old song and that Doc didn’t write it. But, Doc did record one of the most famous versions, and when he performed it live he talked about his love for his wife. She was his “Shady Grove.” Since Billy alludes to Doc fairly often, I was just saying that Doc would like Billy’s version, too. I didn’t intend to give any other impression.

His guitar - sure, but to my ears, his voice gets better all the time.

A fantastic moment at a great Billy show.

[@ButtSnorkler9000]

Never heard it with these lyrics before

[@Orthodoxcuber]

I don't think I've ever heard 2 people sing it with the same words it seems everyone has their own lyrics

[@acdebiase]

Isn't this a Jerry standard? Where's grisman?

[@RogueWillis]

WAY older than Jerry. The earliest origins are in a 17th century ballad, but the current version was first documented in 1915.

I HATE plugged in acoustic guitars! Well, there are not of course acoustic but some plastic sounding monstrosity! Billy! Have you no taste!
