Doc Watson - Peach Pickin' Time In Georgia

[QuakerBoy100]

I met him at Bean Blossom Folk Festival in the early 70's. Amazing. Beautiful. Real. He told us he would have been an electrical engineer if he had had his sight. First time in my life I was ever grateful for someone's "handicap."

[19CACTUS51]

Great cover of a song by The Singing Brakeman, The Blue Yodeler, The Father of Country Music, Jimmie Rodgers…

[shaneh1983]

awsome cover

[CSAHome]

V.A. and N.C. and of corse S.C. best land in the world

[shaneh1983]

great cover

[rll1954]

I love it at 3:01... "when it's round up time in Texas" and he opens his right eye and it appears that he's looking at the camera! I know he's blind and I am not making fun; it just looks like he's peeking!

[browser007200]

with much Love from UK

[IBG67]

Doc at his absolute finest. Im only 16, but Doc has long been my hero, and my inspiration as a young guitarist, and i hope to be able to see him, before he dies.

[jbdmed]

@IBG67 YOU'VE DISCOVERED THE BEST! I hope you can see this legendary flatpicker before he's gone, his guitar skills have diminished with age, still better than I ever hope to be. His stories you'll remember forever

[moovgirl]

[undelicious1]

[emilylikestorawr]

you know doc is my great uncle hee hee i havent seen him in maybe 2 years though i miss him <3 u!

[martinaxman]

@emilylikestorawr If this is true you're wasting the opportunity of a lifetime, let alone great company. Don't let it slip away, because once he's gone, he's gone. I speak from experience. ;-)

[emilylikestorawr]

@martinaxman yea i might be able to this summer cuz my dads goin up to north carolina soon..hopefully he will be there, and thanks for the advice :)

[spacenurse]

[AbsurdBrane]

[puppies21616]

the guy on bass looks so silly

[SunsetSix]

This was probably recorded in the 1980's.

[thebetterhalf37]

thats T michael coleman docs long time friend

[Safarcus]

This guy never looks at the fingerboard!

Amazing talent.

[AbsurdBrane]

Doc is blind. He can't look.

[puppies21616]

he's blind

[meleeECI]

LOL, that was ironic and funny at the same time.

[Lafforte]

So now you know he's blind. But if you want to know how he 'finds' the notes, watch carefully as he's getting ready to solo: he feels his way to the proper fret by checking the distance from the body of the guitar (because he's going to solo in a high position), and then he does the rest by feel from the initial position.

[AmericanWedgeKicker]

You're absolutely right. He uses his thumb a whole lot on the top, to feel when he's right on the fret.

[hansheiterkeit]

lol

[AceVandelay]

rofl

[mjthomas14]

This man is AMAZING,I love his music:)

[dustyturtle]

He can flat pick, finger pick, play bluegrass, blues, rock or folk. And he can yodel.

Aren't we lucky listeners?

[57silverhawk]

The smoothest voice and cleanest pickin' this side of Heaven! Thanks for posting this video.

[gmn52]

Is that T Michael Coleman on bass?

[theworstkindaniceboy]

almost the exact same song as "hobo bills last ride", check that song out if you love doc and merle's genius.

also, if he comes around your neck of the woods with a mr. jack lawrence, don't miss it. ever.

[livelovelaugher]

The man IS a National Treasure. The best of nostalgia in real life!!!! My grandfather taught me to yodel in this fashion when I was 4 years old. Thumbs up!

[kevsrs]

That guy on bass is one happy man :-)

[adrock1011]

with a mustache like that... can you blame him?

[RobertKuntz]

Great version of Jimmie's great song!

[mckennar]
