Doc Watson died last week. The blind bluegrass/folk/country
guitarist probably deserves every word of the numerous accolades in the media
following his death. New York Times: “profoundly influenced generations
of folk and rock guitarists.” LA
Times: “He never misses a stroke or a
strike, singing melodic runs with his voice that move in glorious counterpoint
to the notes springing from his guitar. “ Rolling Stone: “Watson continued
to record and perform well into this century, leaving an imprint, legacy and
discography that will never stop reverberating in American music and the
stories we tell with it.” Miami Herald: “Watson's influence was vast, on
audiences and other musicians.” Doc
Watson recorded over 50 albums and won 8 Grammy’s . The world of acoustic music
will miss him.
