Caleb! Don't you ever let me catch you apologizing for a long post again! Thaks for taking me along on that little trip back in the past... it was wonderful.

I "found" Doc through the music that had flowed out of him into people like you. Their sets always had a few pieces that just made me so happy; they'd start that picking style up, and I'd be gone, instantly. Once I realized where they'd "gotten" it, I ventured into vinyl and soon after had the privilege of seeing Doc, Merle, and T Michael Coleman several times.

My challenge piece was "Talk About Sufferin", and I had to find a way to make it my own, as you must with "Miss the..." That is, after all, one of Doc's bigger lessons-- take into yourself the music you love so much that you have to make it your own, and then go for it with all the joy each day brings you.

Welcome to the Mudcat!
