Chris Thile and Michael Daves - Billy in the Low Ground - 5/17/2011 - Paste Magazine Offices

There's something very satisfying about listening to musicians like this, people who are at the top of their field.

I think I heard a little bit of Billy in the Low ground somewhere there.

[@greylandrum9164]

I'm not complaining though

[@endoalley680]

I finally figgered out why I have such a hard time finding the right notes to play. Chris Thile already used'm all up. Didn't leave any good notes for the rest of us to play.

It's 5 AM. I never heard these guys before but I sure love their playing--and I'm a jazz guy. I love how the bluegrass vocabulary utilizes early jazz syncopations. These dudes swing, they groove and their spontaneous.

Im a jazz guitarist who picked up fiddle this year. You're spot on man. Bluegrass is like jazz over mostly major triads. Its so fun and jammy.

[@BluegrassJam]

Thile and Daves are so relaxed and they play this song with such great humor. What a treat.

Pretty sure I learned it my Mom's kitchen too, but not quite like that..

That's interesting, I have never heard that tag at the end of each section in this tune before.

[@LukeLittle-rt6sn]

[@ai_serf]

[@truthseeker3954]

Love this song. Excellent display of how you can tastefully showboat without losing the song entirely. I can’t but you can. Lol.

[@winkcrittenden6011]

Wasn't anyone named Billy within a mile of that.

[@timmuto7824]
