Subject: RE: BS: Doc Watson
The only time I ever seen him Live, NC some years ago, he was playing Guitar. My friend that day had never heard of the Doc before I brought him to he Festival. He was very impressed and got to talk to the Doc as well, after the show on a side stage ended.

I guess the Doc was always for me about a life style, and his singing of Old Timey Gospel is a great idea. I know exactly what the writer had in mind who mentions the straight shooting.

There are millions of folk all over the world who were introduced to folk by the Doc, and many would never have bothered except for the gentle laughter in the Doc's music. I always wondered what that old Hound who sat on a thorn actually did?

Grandma Green and the Doc. Mee too. It makes ya different, like biscuits and gravy :0)
