Thread Name: Have You Seen Doc Watson in Concert?
Subject: RE: Have You Seen Doc Watson in Concert?
Though flatpicking is not my style, I'd loved Doc Watson's playing from first hearing a recording of him in the mid 60s. I finally got to see him in the mid-70s (somewhere between 75 and 77 I think) at the Kilburn State (former cinema) in London, just down the road from where I was living at the time. He was playing with a band that included his son IIRC. (I also saw Stephane Grappelli with John Etheridge at the same venue, but not at the same concert!). Wouldn't have missed it for anything.
