Happy Birthday, Doc Watson!


Happy Birthday to Doc Watson, who turns 85 years young, today. For the non-initiated, Doc Watson is a giant in the realms of Bluegrass and folk music, and is a guitar player extraordinaire (especially when you consider the fact that he's blind!). If you haven't heard of him, run to Amazon.com and purchase Three Pickers, a live concert CD/DVD he did a few years ago with Earl Scruggs (of Beverly Hillbillies fame) and Ricky Skaggs. The incomparable Alison Krauss even makes a cameo.

I grew up on Bluegrass music (a cousin even played with Ricky Skaggs), but did not fully appreciate it until the past few years. Now, I'm hooked! And, if you give it a try, I imagine you will be, too.
