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.
