 Marty Stuart has been an avid amateur photographer for a long time, took great pix from his days w/ Cash, Lester Flatt etc etc. He published a book of these entitled Pilgrims:Sinners, Saints, and Prophets, great stuff. Search Amazon for Marty Stuart, Arts and Photography books.

In 1975 or '76, in the rain, I had the privilege of sitting about 3 feet from Doc and Merle Watson at a small bluegrass festival in the Cumberland Gap (not sure if we were in Maryland, West Virginia or Pennsylvania)! All my friends were damp and irritated and they went back to our camp, but I stayed with just a handful of people as Doc played his heart out for us for 45 minutes. It was one of the great musical moments of my life - they were both just full of joy and so talented.

As far as flat pickers go, Doc Watson is hands down the best. His performance of this song is truly great. However I am a huge fan of original artists, and Jimmie Driftwood (who actually wrote this song) does an equally great performance, and it was done on a homemade guitar. Love the song and the artists. Thanks for posting.
