Doc Watson was amazing
Doc was cooler than cool
I’ve been a Doc Watson fan since I got a copy of Ballads from Deep Gap in high school (still have it, too). I only got to see him a few times in the 70s, though. My wife is from North Carolina, and once was at a pig-pickin’ up in the hills when Doc showed up with Vassar Clements and a few other musicians. Doc heard her singing and called her out of the crowd to sing with him. I was in awe when she told me about it, years later after we met.
