Thread Name: I finally saw Doc Watson
Subject: I finally saw Doc Watson
Yes, after all these years, I was fortunate enough to attend a concert with Doc, Granson Richard, and David Holt.

Doc lives in this part of the country,but I never saw or heard him in person until last night. I almost missed it.The show was in Asheville, NC., but when I called for tickets, had been sold out for 2 weeks. Here is where I got very lucky. A friend of mine produced a comp. ticket and left it for me.

The three of them were pure magic. It is hard to grasp the fact that Doc is about 78. I stopped trying to figure out how he does what he does. It just happens.

Needles to say, I acted like a 65 year old groupie. Jim
