My Uncle clonked over last summer.
No broken bones but he nailed his head on the fridge.(he was weak, it was the middle of the night)

Chick Hearn died from his fall.
It's scary to be getting old but it sure beats the alternative!

One of my favorite riffs by Doc.
He taught Merle to shine.

I’ve been listening to Doc Watson and son Merle since the 70s. I was made fun of by some but I didn’t mind.

I used to frequent the Bluegrass festivals in the early 70’s
The cool kids got it.
We all were there.

This is what is amazing about Doc.
He encompassed the entire country geographically and emotionally.
Anyone could relate to Doc, Good times bad times and strange times.
