One of my favorites.....

So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

I've played guitar for a great many years and I can do some of the things the rock or blues stars do on guitar (not all of course)

but when I see a great classical guitarist such as Ana - I'm in awe - I can't touch that - can't even come close

46 million views on this baby - for classical music - quite astonishing

While her playing is beautiful, I must admit that I enjoyed with my eyes as much as my ears…
It’s a dog eat dog world. …Or maybe it’s the other way around!

Doc is a great mixture of country and blues - I guess the best way to call it is Country Blues
his guitar work is fabulous and his voice is so strong
I can't imagine what it must be like to be blind
I guess that many blind people who are not famous like Doc end up in nursing homes - so very sad

"mamma she worked for a tailor man. she sewed all my new blue jeans
and my daddy was a gamblin' man in the town of old New Orleans

Go tell my youngest brother - not to do the awful things I have done. And to shun that old house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun"

Seen Doc play a lot of times
One of my faves
Loved his strong voice
Went to Merlefest several times which celebrates his son who was an accomplished guitarist himself and played with his father. Merle Watson died in a farming accident.
One of my all time favorite musical performances ever was seeing Dolly Parton at Merlefest performing a song with Doc
When somebody doesn't believe me, I could care less. Some get totally bent out of shape when not believed. Weird. I believe very little on all forums

the blues are great - Johnny Lee is great - he's deep - and it's good for your soul
