RIP: Doc Watson


Very sad news. Saw him once with his son Merle many years ago. What a guitar picker! He will be missed!

Nice story from Ry Cooder in the NY Times about seeing Doc Watson for the first time.

I grew up listening to rock and roll -- and only rock and roll -- until I heard a record by Doc Watson. Holy-moly! Learned then that it wasn't only rock that rocked. His music will most assuredly live on for a very long time.
'Pickin' The Blues' is a favorite album of mine. Great music and exceptional audio quality! I've got a few others but this is the one I've repeatedly returned to over the years.

RIP Doc!
