Summary: Creative Strings Podcast with Christian Howes - Episode 1 Billy Contreras and I sat down to speak live at the 2014 Creative Strings Workshop to discuss Billy's life, music, and more. Later we edited this podcast to include several amazing clips of Billy playing from his early days to his records with Christian Howes, to his most recent projects. This progression shows how Billy's playing has evolved from simple country fiddling into the improvising master he is today.
