Strangely enough Doc was the first person I heard play the guitar live. My mom bought me to his house in Deep Gap when I was about 7 or 8 and I sat on his couch eating cookies and drinking lemonade while he played "Wildwood flower " for my mom and "If the ocean was whiskey " for me and then went on to play another 30 or 45 minutes, just because there was company. He was really a gentle, gracious soul and that remains one of my most precious memories.

This is not only one of the best guitar-picking concert I ever say but also a true "Document" and I hope Smithsonian and the Library of Congress will be among those who continue to preserve it. I'll add a couple of Doc stories. The first time I saw him was almost sixty years ago, at the Newport Folk Festival. There were open-air concerts, low stages around which the audience would gather and stand or sit on the grass. So you could get five or ten feet from the performer if you got there first. And some of the musicians who we now view as the movers and shakers of folk and bluegrass music over most of a century, often were there. I was privileged to see some legends, and Doc already was a legend even then. Years later, At the Walnut Valley Festival one year, after dark, he was playing on the main stage there; and we were at the Cowley County Fairgrounds, and half a mile of so away, over in the town of Winfield, Kansas,, there's a rail line, and a train was blowing its horns and Doc had to stop playing and wait for the train to go by. It was better than if it had been a written play. I always have thought Doc's music was as perfect as it could be. I don't think I ever heard a mistake. And every guitarist, when I was growing up and probably still, had to learn or try to learn "Deep River Blues".I first tried to play the guitar part for that song in about 1967, and still can't play it right. But their performance of "Deep River Blues" here is also about as perfect as I've ever heard and a joy to listen to.
