Looking for some joy in these hard times? Give #BillyStrings' take on an old classic a listen/watch. Great to see #bluegrass legend #DocWatson get some love in the 21st century. Fun #animation, too. ❤️ https://youtu.be/2WcMOtwz174 #music
Was listening to the "Mellow Mix" of RadioParadise.com, as is my wont, and they just played S&G's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," which, even though it's sentimental and frightfully overwrought and tinny-sounding, always reminds me of a particularly sweet personal moment in 1970 or so,
Then, as is *their* wont, RadioParadise.com played Doc & Merle doing "Windy and Warm," which was rounded it off perfectly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw2Dn9a8sQ4

Billy might not cover the Grateful Dead anymore but at least he still plays Doc Watson tunes
if you're on nugs, I came across this playlist: “Billy Plays Doc Watson” https://2nu.gs/4qVoJGB
good raking music
I was watching old Dylan videos on YouTube and in this version of "North Country Blues" form the Newport Folk Fest (1963) you can see Doc Watson sitting right behind him! Doc's in the second shot at 0:53.

Sunday listening: Doc & Merle Watson - Live At Tipitina's. First time in a long time I listened through a record and then immediately flipped it back over and listened to it again. Some mighty fine pickin'!

Whoa! One of #DocWatson 's earliest Martin D-28's is available. Only $75K. Not bad for an authentic guitar owned and used by Doc. #BillyStrings should buy it.

Doc Watson - Down In The Valle...

In the essential folk music book, "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down," there is a story about Cambridge MA folkies traveling and coming upon a Southern country fair. The musician playing at the time was Doc Watson. One of the Cambridge guys couldn't believe he had never heard of someone this talented. He asked where else does Watson play. The answer was, He doesn't play anywhere else ... he's blind. The Harvard Square folkies then helped put Doc on the road and in front of diverse, appreciative audiences. I heard him sing to an audience of over 3,000 at the University of Maine. He showed that he was well grounded in traditional material but was not at all afraid to perform the latest songs. Too bad Guitar Pilgrim hasn't released a video about Doc's picking style. He has done nearly everyone else. It seems to me I've seen a video of Tommy Emmanuel presenting how to play "Doc's Guitar." Doc and Merle were really amazing.

When I saw this title come up, Doc Watson doing “Nights in White Satin”, I was all “ha ha, yeah I’ll tag that one with genre ‘unusual’ and inflict it on my Mastodon pals!” But then I heard it and… ::sob:: it’s a heartbreaker, actually. That’s what he does to me tho, Doc. Breaks me. (He was also my intro to country music, pretty much! Saw him & Merle live when I was like 12 or 13yo, and was AGOG & mindblown.) #DocWatson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fis4fNl2llY

I love this album *Jean Ritchie and Doc Watson at Folk City* and there is a track called "Swing and Turn Jubilee" that I was curious about the origins of. Someone on this forum was curious before me and got a direct reply from Jean Richie herself (kytrad)! She goes on to give some super interesting background into the origins which is a Richie Family gamesong.
