MissouriPicker Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Doc is a living legend. He's overcome obstacles that I can't even imagine facing. And he did more than overcome them. He kicked them in the *** and pushed them off the road. Get well, guitar picker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 He will be in my prayers. I was actually listening to one of his CD's this morning. http://bluegrasstoday.com/42304/docs-surgery-a-success/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobouz Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Doc has brought joy to so many through his music. I feel fortunate to have memories of seeing him early in his career with Merle. All the best to him, and hopes for a full recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I luv me some Doc! ....and Jannusguy2.....sorry to post on the same thread as you! I know it gets your 'undies in a bunch' You're mistaken. I'm wholly apathetic where you're concerned. I'm not sure how a thread about Doc Watson's passing is an appropriate venue for your continued grinding of your axe but, hey, it's your rep. Have at it. BTW, you have the timing and apparent social skills of a 12 yr. old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob and Rod, I wish you guys could just let it go long enough to help us remember one of the great country/folk guitarists of the last century. It just ain't gentlemanly, and Doc was a real gentleman. I can't even begin to think how many hours I listened to his records, trying to figure out how he could play so many notes in such a short time........

I can't even begin to think how many hours I listened to his records, trying to figure out how he could play so many notes in such a short time........ I don't disagree, Nick. It wasn't my idea to make mention of any lingering animosity by any stretch. But there it is in black and white for all to see. Anyway, it's a point of sadness for me, professionally, that I never got to work with Doc in all my years of concert promotion. There were a couple of attempts that fizzled out. I should have tried harder. His passing and the missed opportunity it represents is causing me to think about other giants in the twilight of their careers that I need to reach out to and create some personal memories. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
