I saw Doc and Merle at Cal State Long Beach in the early 70s....they set up a stage in this large room and put up chairs with me and my wife in the first row center....
Doc was less then 10 feet away....that was something i will never forget. Thanks for posting. Brings back a lot of memories for me.
Being from western North Carolina myself, Doc's music has a special place in my heart. I had the pleasure of seeing him in a street festival in Winston-Salem in 1999. Probably the coolest musical experience of my life thus far.
@8woldy8 - that's horrible...a sad attempt at humor - I got news for ya boy - Doc can hear the difference in the licks, tone, syncopation and delivery - I'm just shocked anyone knowing Doc, and his music would write that
How in the world can some of the crappy videos on youtube get so many views and this amazing video get only 7000 +? Unbelivable!!! Doc & Merle =the greatest guitarists/ performers ever!!
@TheTbama youtube views, along with record sales, dont designate how good the music is. not to mention a lot of the people who listen to this music dont use youtube.
I've been listening to Doc Watson a LOOOONNNGGG time. Sure do miss Merle being there with him. What a guitar player he was. What a fine pair they played as.
My power went out last summer for around 2 days, had this song stuck in my head the whole time. Now when I hear it, its ironic a song about memories of the summer will always be a memory of mine, weird how good songs will do that to you.
first live show i have ever seen. 87 doc watson in new hampshire.. i was 7. will never forget it.. thanks dad!
