Thread Name: Doc Watson--What do you know?
Subject: RE: Doc Watson--What do you know?
I saw Doc Saturday night at the Podunk bluegrass festival in East Hartford, CT. We were there camping for the weekend, but day tickets were $40 and included several bands (Mountain Heart, one of the very best live shows I've ever seen, Dale Ann Bradley w/Coon Creek, many others) with Doc as the headliner, playing from about 9 to 11:00 pm. He did a set with Richard and then a set with Jack Lawrence. The concert was wonderful, as it has been every time I've seen him. His voice is still mellow and expressive, his fingers still make magic on the strings regardless of age. And we sat with friends in our comfortable lawn chairs under the stars eating ice cream and loving the whole experience. What could be better?
