Doc Watson, one of the most influential guitar pickers, passed away 29 May 2012. Blind before he reached the age of 1, he overcame his handicap with hard work and earned talent. Here he is with Chet Atkins (d.2001) and a young Leo Kottke. I’m guessing the vid is from the late 70s.
[Personal gripe: Peeps who post these vids on the Utoobage should give some detail in the descriptions. Many do, but too many don't.]
Here’s Chet Atkins, early 1960s, with “Black Mountain Rag.”
In 1982, Leo Kottke performed Tom T. Hall‘s “Pamela Brown” on a late night variety show.
Well I think three vids are enough for one post these days, so have a great weekend and we’ll see y’all pickin’ and flickin’ back here tomorrow.
