Sam Brigger

Earlier we talked about Doc Watson, and I wanted to ask if you'd play a tune that maybe was one of the earlier songs that you learned as a kid.

You know.

That's the fiddle tune, Beaumont Rag.

Is that one of those licks that you're now tired of or you still like it?

Your dad taught you how to play guitar.

Have you picked out a guitar for your son yet?

Do you plan to teach him the way your dad taught you?

So when are you going to start teaching him how to play the strings?

Well, Billy Strings, I want to thank you so much for coming on Fresh Air today.
