Who is in the piano ? F. Grolnick????

One of the ALL TIME GREATS. Cheers Doc.

Back again dock miss you and your music 🎶🎶🎶

Got to meet Doc Watson & his son at Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield Kansss. One of many great musicians that play thru my 50 years of attendance.

My grandfather was on dialysis most of his adult life. He had 3 kidney transplants. He decided he didnt want to suffer any more and quit dialysis. He was left with 7 days to live. We spent those 7 days in a hospice facility with him eating hot wings and listening to blue grass. He died to this song. It sure does always evoke emotion when i hear it!!!!

Phenomenal and more, thank you so much

Thanks Doc!

You really see his soul In this, he just didn't want to stop playing 😢❤😢

I was sent by Babylon 5 .. so glad i found this!!

I worked at the Waffle Express for the Jewels and had started my business in Blowing Rock so I waited tables third shift cuz I couldn’t afford to take a draw off the company yet…he’d come in after 11 or so with an entourage, maybe he’d played at Shadrack’s…didn’t matter. I had no idea who this dude was but I knew I was making a fresh pot of coffee for someone who you’d serve nothing less than.

I was lucky enough to book Doc 2 times... fly with him in a small jet and have dinner with him...one of the great memories of my long musical life

amazing

So I grew up in NJ and somehow my buddy and I became enamored with bluegrass and became huge Doc Watson fans in the late 70s. We saw him in Lincoln Center in NYC. To this day he inspires me like no other - the combination of his immense talent, authenticity and humility is singular. His rendition of Nothing To It is other wordly.

I saw DOC AND MERLE in Lenoir.NC years ago.... ...GREAT SHOW.....FIRST THING HE ASKED IN A NICE WAY...PLEASE DONT SMOKE DURING THE CONCERT..... CIGARETTE SMOKE BOTHERS ME AS WELL

absolute legend RIP

Of course there's intentional atonality by skilled musicians (late Schönberg or very late Coltrane) and the kind played by amateurs (like all of us at some time). Both are equally susceptible to criticism. Then there's hip-hop "music," for which the question doesn't even apply. (I don't hear any off-notes on the above video ("I'll Fly Away").

Love Doc’s backup guitar playing walking in and out of the chords

Doc was said to have said he wished to be remembered as a good man, not a good musician. He was a great man who happened to be a great musician as well.

I had the privilege to pick with Doc Watson at Bean Blossom, he invited me to sit down with him under a big oak tree , I had been learning his picking from record albums , he liked the sound of my D-28 because of it’s unique sound , it’s on several recordings at Muscle Shoals Sound

Rest in peace, Art Lane, and thank you for the music!

I only discovered Doc on KZfaq by accident and I think he was fantastic

Respect.,! You are the best picker ever Doc forever n ever! We miss you. ❤️

Playing on a Henderson guitar.

Being blind his hearing was probably amazing.

🙏👏👋❤️🌹🎸💫

If a certain song has to be your final performance Mr Watson picked the perfect song! God Bless you, Doc.

WOW cool, maar die camera mannen en met name die regisseur hebben geen verstand van zaken 😢

Harmony beyond imagination

the volume on that banjo was too high compared to other instruments. bad sound guy bad

I want THIS recording played at my funeral. Can't imagine ANY better way to "fly away."

And he flew away to his heavenly home. I’m jealous.

I like how yer channels called Big C! It makes me think of Clarence Clemons because A: He's known as The Big Man, and B: Bruce Springsteen also called him C sometimes!!!!!!🎷🎷🎷👍👍👍

I first saw Doc Watson on a Saturday night variety show in the fall of 1963. He played Deep River Blues and I was knocked out. I didn't know his name and it took me a while to find out who he was--Not a lot of Doc fans in West Texas back then. When I got to college in Detroit in the fall of 1964, I went into a record store and there was Doc's first solo album: DOC WATSON. I bought that and ended up with thirty or so lps and cds. He still gives me the chills with his playing and I am 80 years old and have been listening for over 60 years. Saw him live a few times in L.A. at the Ash Grove.

Why is he called "doc"?

I drank a beer with him.

R.I.P. Doc ❤ 🙏

So Jimmi Hendrix is the best guitar player ever! Gimme a break.

The people in the background didn´t know they have been behind an American treasure!

How can you not love Bluegrass music. Wish I had that talent.

So Jimmi Hendrix was the best guitar ever. Gimme a break.

Those walk ups and walk downs are beyond perfect.

My Dad was a friend of Doc and Merle. When he was in California we were at many of his concerts. He even showed up to our old folk music camp in the lower Calif. Sierra.

RIP Doc. My favorite song too.

Saw him at a few grass festivals that I frequented in my hippie days. I absolutely love him. My grass is blue 💙

i was there at the strawberry music festival in California back in 1978 where Doc and Merle were conducting guitar workshops...those were pretty good days for Doc and Merle...even the young stars playing in those days are gettin pretty old these days...all things pass sooner or later.

Doc was and always will be the very best at his craft. This video is quite sad because it illustrates the decline of a GREAT force in the world of flat picking. RIP, Doc. We miss you still.

I met Bill out side of Nashville where he was performing and got to meet him and so sad my camera was not working because of the heat. He had been my Performer since I was a kid on the radio. camera from the heat didn't work and lost my pic with him!! so sad.

Let's do that... I'll fly away. Love it!

Yep. Still got it.
