Nothing heals me better than Doc singing and playing guitar. Thanx for sharing!

The second guitarist is real good at slide guitar.

@WILDAIR David Holt is pretty good! I've seen him with Doc a few times and on his own a few times. Like Doc, he's a good story teller.

Thanks for this posting this Video

That was my Mom he pulled up in the cherry

tree. She told me about that the first

time 40 years ago. She really was thrilled to be up in that tree with him and all thoes cherries.

The one thing he does not tell that she told me was that before he let her down he made her promise not to tell Mama about this episode and she promised and never told cause if she had Arthel would have been in BIG trouble.

i feel so lucky i've been fortunate enough to have seen him live. he's an american treasure.

[Bluesmanstrat1]

Just priceless!

Innocent and open, but not Naive. Experienced but not jaded. Simple but only because he realizes that many things do not equal happiness. Self sufficient even through severe handicaps. Loves the Lord even through great turmoil.

This is what America was made of and the only thing that will bring us back to greatness. The 2 people I look up to most in life are Doc Watson and Zig Ziglar. Both amazing men of faith and character. I can't say enough good things about them.

Doc is Why People Want to play the Guitar peorid

[TheMorfred]

Hot Damn they're good... Makes ya wonder if you should practise 24/7 for the next 30 years, or just do a ritual burning of those guitars out in the back yard...

doc is the best

[fuxgood]

@kikapoo44 The whole truth comes out sooner or later LOL. Thanks for sharing the rest of the story.

Amazing how well Doc has held up. He can still play and sing beautifully. I've seen him perform with David Holt several times. They compliment each other very well.
