RIP Doc. I know you are with Merle now (his son). Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your music and the way your soul shone through it.
I can play some of his classics, pretty close to note-for-note. I just can’t do it as fast. Many flatpicking guitar heros stand on Doc’s shoulders.

Reunited with Merle.

Thanks, Doc, RIP

Doc was the best damm flat picker ever in my book and one of my heroes. I’m glad I got to see him when I did because there won’t be any more chances on this earth.

You ain't from 'round here, is you? :-D
Watson is best known for his stellar guitar picking style, but he sings a little too. (Oh, dear -- sang.)
Shady Grove
Way Down Town
Deep River Blues
God rest him, he was one of the last of the real old-timey musicians.

RIP. I just listened to Deep River Blues again. Man had talent, and didn't let a little thing like being blind slow him down much.

I had the pleasure of seeing him perform at least a dozen times when I lived in Boone. Truly an artist.
