Doc & Merle Watson

[filthyphillyboy]

About 1972 I read in my local paper that Doc & Merle were coming to our local high school for a Sat night concert. I had just "discovered" Doc. Best concert of my life was on a basketball court. I'll NEVER forget it!

We lost alot when we lost Merle. I am a huge Doc fan! But I sure miss the duo of Doc and Merle...................

[ridgewatcher]

my home town is where they hold Merlefest, i just never have enough money to go though!

These three guys made MUSCIAL MAGIC together. It's so sad that Merle is no longer with us. For another take on "Don't Think Twice", check out the Joan Baez version.

Beautiful voice, I don't know why more people don't remark upon that. His pitch, the way he harmonizes with the melody, it's so beautiful. It makes me want to write.

This was from one of Doc's best albums. It had the best, maybe definitive, version of "Under the Double Eagle" on it too.

Everybody talks about Doc's picking, but I always thought he had a wonderful, warm and friendly voice too.

It was a very sad day when Merle died, in a tractor accident no less RIP

i am very proud to have lived in the same era of time that doc and merle did. i grew up listening to them and have continued though out my life and when i pass on i'm sure there will be a few of there albums laying around my house all worn out.There has never been a better musican then these men and i feel very blessed to have gotten to listen to them i only wished i could have met them.
