Afterglow

This guy played two full one-hour sets, and toward the end of the second set he stopped and talked about being a young musician, about his mentor Chet Atkins, and about the process of moving to music making ("first you figure things out, and then you build the skills of playing a song until it's completely inside you, and only then do you make the music of the song").

He began with Doc's Guitar, which made me cry, and ended with an encore performance of Classical Gas shot through with a million sly jokes, which made me whoop.

What a musician!
