Just another quick comment about the concert--

I was reading over the other Doc Watson threads & remembered other things I particularly liked. Right at the beginning, Doc announced that this would be an informal concert--that he'd prefer if we could have all joined him in his livingroom, if it were big enough. He seemed very relaxed. I think he, Jack, & Richard just decided what songs to play as they went along; it was great. Many times, between songs, they spent a couple of minutes tuning. That may sound silly for me to say, but Doc seemed particularly sensitive to that. He said he has close to perfect pitch--that he worked as a piano tuner in the past--& that when things are out of tune, they make him nervous! I just get a kick out of getting to know musicians. The feeling onstage was very friendly; Richard & Jack obviously really enjoy playing w/ Doc. For me, as an audience member, it really adds to my pleasure if I can like the people I'm hearing. No problem, that night! From the responsiveness of the audience, my feelings were shared.
