Conrad is da man!

[dawgbytez]

I've been playing the blues for 28 years and I have never seen anyone as good as this kid in the same age group and even outside his age group. I hope he never stops playing, hope he never takes the bad roads that other great artists have taken and I thank God that there are young people left in this world with real talent and real taste in good music!
