Doc Watson

[BroBarry]

Heey, are there any Doc Watson fans out there? I was lucky enough to see this guy live back in September in the Ozarks. He inspired me so much that my guitar playing has been reenergized. He pulled me away from classical guitar and moved me to thumbpicking and flatpicking. I never understood bluegrass and folk until I heard him. Now i'm a big fan.

You're on your way, great musician to start off with. He absolutely floors me every time I listen to him.

You might also take a listen to Tony Rice, another phenomenal player. Happy pickin'!

Big Doc Watson fan.

My brother in law was involved with the folks who do the Philadelphia Folk Festival, so I got to meet Doc through him. I can say first hand that Doc was extremely friendly and was very patient with new guitar players who peppered him with questions.

His version of "Old Camp Meeting Time" was the theme song for my radio show.

I saw Doc about 8 years ago at the Ryman. He was great. I like the way he respects the old songs. The 3 pickers CD he and Ricky and Earl did a few years ago was really good.
