@SGTJDerek That’s exactly what I was thinking. I’m from AL and had the opportunity to hear and enjoy this type of picking literally all my life. At the end of the the vid, when Doc says “ he didn’t know what the thang was called “, he meant that he never really knew the name of the tune (song), but he thought that it was one of the best he’d ever heard. He’d been playing it all his life. I just recently realized what an absolute blessing it was to grow up around the music.Granted, we didn’t quite play it this effectively, or, at least very seldom! lol

You guys had the good with the bad. You had the privilege of having the Irish bring their fiddles when they first came here and then you all threw a little salt and pepper on it and out spawned this amazing music. The bad, was a lot of hard times and working in some of the worst jobs in America, that killed many fathers. I often think this is what got them through those times. No matter what happened they had the ability to make their own happiness right on the porch. Doc has said his father made him his first banjo. Made him !! And his first bought guitar at age 13. My favorite quote “ it was one of those $10 guitars. Ok to learn on but hard to fret as a barb wire fence” 😂 so I’ll say ty to your families and all the others that gave us this amazing music. My father passed today and I had docs gospel songs playing the last two days for him after his stroke. I told him he could go to god to end his suffering and listen to doc all day now in person and they’ll both be able to see. I’m not very religious anymore but I can see that picture perfectly in my mind.

Interesting facts: Leo Kottke was mostly deaf in his left ear from a firecracker accident when he was a kid, and partially deaf in his right ear from damage sustained during firing range practice while in the naval reserves. Doc Watson went totally blind from an eye infection when he was two years old. Playing, learning, and mastering guitar is demanding enough... but they did it with impairments. That makes it all the more impressive

I should add that the first time I saw Doc Watson play, in the late 70s or early 80s, it was with his son Merle. (The second time was with Jack Lawrence). The show with Merle was part of the same *free concerts in a local park series* where at various times I saw Taj Mahal, Leon Redbone, Elizabeth Cotten, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Maria Muldaur, and legendary Jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli. Man, those were the days! Some wealthy woman had passed away and left a ton of money to the state to be used for free concerts, and even though she was elderly she didn't want it all to be, you know, jazz or classical music for older people, she wanted it to be a wide-ranging mix of stuff that everyone could enjoy. I don't remember who she was but I bless her memory!

This is what we, and by we I mean my group of picker friends, do. We basically learned to do it at the Natl Flatpicking Championship at Winfield, Kansas just down the road from my home in Wichita. I started going to the festival there in Winfield the first year it started in 71'. But it really took off in 73 when I got good enough to join in. Imagine being able not only to watch Doc, Norman Blake, Mark O'Connor, you name it, they've played there, but to be able to befriend, sit down impromptu and jam with these fine pickers. Forward to today 49 years later. I've been to every festival there so 49 years I've been spending 4-12 days camping and playing music with my friends and many of these great pickers and fiddlers. I don't know how any guitar picker or one who loves Bluegrass music to not have attended at least one of these pickin' championships. Be warned though. It's more addiction than heroin! Ha! But much better for you. Sadly, due to this goddamn covid thing, the festival is postponed till next Sept. But we all will be camping and pickin' regardless.

Leo is one of the great unheralded guitarist. I got turned onto Leo when I was 16, of course Chet is, & deservedly so, a legend. I heard he (Chet) was interested in great guitar players, regardless of genre. That he'd help new guitarists meet the right people in Nashville. Really a superb human being. Still I thought Leo would be household name, by now, sadly he isn't. (Guitarists know who he is.) Even though I love rock & blues, bluegrass is not easy to play. It takes a great player to handle that music. Btw I'm buying my granddaughter her 1st electric guitar, it's pink,(her choice) comes with an amp, etc. Only $150. (3/4 size) very excited about it.

I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s going to gin mills and was served alcohol at 15. I sure remember dancing with many an old man, lol! I guess the point I want to make is that my family was able to jam with anyone they had never played with before. A musician who was any kind of musician just knew when it was their time to come in and when it was time to fade out. Some of the best times were when musicians just did impromptu jams

In 1979 I worked at a weekend Country music bluegrass festival that had Bill Monroe and Doc Watson as the draw card . It was at a small camping park outside Hamilton : Canada , yet as I stood at the gate checking Tickets and or selling them......I couldn't believe the vehicles with Texas plates among many lower 48 contigeous States where the people ranged from old cars to new Camper units . People often mock Counrty music but it cuts across all the social classes and colours because I saw several black men in cowboy dress coming up from North of florida.

Great stuff! Some notes. 1) The guitar Doc is playing is a Gallagher -- I think David Crosby had one too. I wish I could afford one! 2) "The Last Steam Engine Train" was a staple in my own repertoire while I was playing professionally. I got it from Leo's recording, he got it from John Fahey, who got it from one Sam McGee. It's actually very simple, once you have the hang of that double-thumb style, and any aspiring pickers out there should track it down! But what these guys do with it? WOAH!!! 3) Back when I was writing for the local papers I did interviews with Leo and Doc, both of which went on for hours, and we talked about EVERYTHING! Matter of fact I think they were secretly pleased with talking with someone who didn't keep asking the same questions they'd already answered a hundred times before. You're right. Guys like this are professional, and there's no star BS about them. Ah, the memories of youth! And btw, happy New Year!

Even the Group the Byrds showed up at the farm to play. Roger McGuinn was kind of a pain in the butt and Earl did not care for them smoking them funny cigarettes during breaks in the music.

Once again, excellent analysis of excellent pickers! I'd like to suggest another great flat picker. Clarence White was another one of those under-rated massive talents. Sadly, he was hit and killed in a traffic accident 1973, but there are some very good videos to choose from on You tube. Thanks, and keep these videos coming!

When it comes to "Who's gonna play what part?"....someone usually gets a go-ahead nod. These guys have adapted by using a Pythonism: "A nod is as good as a wink to Doc Watson." He can *hear* the nod ....and if it's in key.
