While enjoying some darn fine Doc Watson videos on YouTube tonight I figured I would check to see if Doc was still touring and if he had any dates in the area this summer.
Much to my surprise I discovered that he was playing in Ann Arbor, MI tonight! Of all nights, the evening I searched he was playing live just a few hours drive from here.
This was truely a missed opportunity of a lifetime. Hopefully I’ll get the opportunity to see him play live before he stops touring, perhaps at Merlefest.
In my opinion, Doc is a true musical legend.
Here’s a link to the current tour dates…
Here’s a nice playlist of Doc (and the likes of Chet Atkins, his late son Merle, and others) from YouTube.
Hope you enjoy these as much as I do 🙂
