Doc Watson, Grammy-winning folk musician, dead at 89 | OregonLive.com:
A giant. Got to hear him perform up close and personal when he visited a folk music class I took at UCLA (so did most people performing at the Ash Grove during the term). His Doc Watson and Son album blew me away.
Watson picks with only TWO fingers, ala Merle Travis, after whom he named his son. As a kid, I sometimes was "baby sat" at a daytime country music TV show that featured Merle Travis (among many others) while mom shopped at a farmer's market in the area. The TV station became a daycare center in those very early TV days!
