Doc Watson - R.I. P.
(AP) WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Doc Watson, the Grammy-award winning folk musician whose lightning-fast style of flatpicking influenced guitarists around the world for more than a half-century, died Tuesday at a hospital in Winston-Salem, according to a hospital spokeswoman and his manager. He was 89.
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-207_162-...er-dead-at-89/ I had the pleasure of watching Mr. Watson in action on stage a few times, and his style was so smooth, so effortless. Well, you just knew that you were in the presence of a Master.
