There was a tribute to Doc Watson this week for the Mountain Music Show. Doc is one of my all-time favorite musicians! Unfortunately he passed away on May 29 at the age of 89, so I wanted to feature him this week. He is best known for his amazing flat-picking (and finger-picking) style on the guitar, but I've always also enjoyed him on the banjo and harmonica so I included him doing a variety of styles and instruments.
