I think I wrote a poem
staying up late
drinking beers
arguing about music
listening to Bo Diddley
eating chocolate like it’s food
contemplating not going to work
(sleeping in)
so tired
so happy
RIP Doc Watson.
From Watson’s obituary in The Washington Post:
“He is single-handedly responsible for the extraordinary increase in acoustic flat-picking and finger-picking guitar performance,” the late Ralph Rinzler, an influential folklorist who first recorded Mr. Watson in the early 1960s, once wrote. “His flat-picking style has no precedent in earlier country music history.”
This is a good day to unplug and unwind with some roots music.
