I can't recommend his recording done with Clarence Ashley highly enough for those who enjoy this.

You said it well guynamedan! Doc Watson is my HERO!

[guynamedan]

i can never get over how warm hearted, kind, and honest doc watson seems to be... i never met the man and I respect the living hell out of the way he looks at life.

[Pickinbuddy]

@guynamedan You surmised right--I'd met and spoke with Doc numerous times, and he is exactly that...and very warm person.

[54spiritedwill54]

This is great!

[stacyblue1980]

I wish I could play like that. I guess that wont happen but Ill certainly try. Im kinda new with banjo anyway. Hehe. The Cuckoo is one of my favorite songs and THE first song I learned 2 play on guitar. (guitar is no problem...Haha!)

Lovely. Thanks 4 posting. x

[buh121]

if you can play it on the guitar, you should be able to play it on the banjo with a little bit of practice, dont put your self down at all. ask the LORD to help you, and he will friend.

[ncsufan81]

I would love to know where you found this. It just brings back so many memories for me. The lady making quilts is Ora Watson, her husband Willard was one of the best woodcarvers ever and one of the biggest Moonshiners around lol

[shitfuck53]

[foxtrotyankee]

Great documentary ~ we'll never see the likes of Doc & Merle again, mores the pity.

A fan of fifty years.

[kotounski]

Doc is still alive.

[RussellK9]

Yes,I know, I didn't mean to infer that he was not. :) ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪

[kotounski]

I feel very fortunate to have been around Bluegrass in time to see legends such as Doc, Merle, Del, Vasser, ect. They are the pioneers of this great music that I cherish, and feel running through my veins all the time...even if I am not listening to the music. I agree with you..it is hard to imagine a world with out such quality musicians...but I am sure their will come along a select bunch of pickers that have taken enough from our legends, and contribute to the sound of great bluegrass.

Doc Watson is God...and my neighbor.
