I opened for Doc & Merle, with T. Michael Coleman on Bass in 1976 in Bradenton, Florida. I was a guest (I am a pro harmonica player 48 years and started in Bluegrass Bands in FL as a kid) with a family band called "The Poindexters". They can be seen on the back jacket of the LP, first solo album by Dickie Betts (Allman Bros) called "Highway Call". We were the opening act and they had drums although played quite a few Bluegrass tunes. I remember though talking to T. Michael Coleman....my first time seeing a fretless electric bass, especially playing Bluegrass! I also opened for them again in 1978 in Southern California at a theatre, again I was in the opening trio, me on harp and a male/female folk duo. It was cool to see them all again out on the west coast and the theatre had a pretty nice green room so we could chat.

I saw Doc & Merle some time in the 1970s at Stanford. He was the opening act for Gordon LIghtfoot. Doc tore it up. He had the entire stadium eating out of his hands. Then came Lightfoot, who stunk it up. Lightfoot would sing one song, then go on to the next without saying a word to the audience. After a while, the audience began shouting at him "say something!!!!" Because you see, Doc talked to the audience like he was your favorite uncle. He spoke directly to you, and you responded in kind. To have Lightfoot up there with silence between numbers was a massive letdown. Soon the crowd started yelling "bring back Doc!!!" That was my introduction to Doc Watson, and I became a fan from that moment on.

Like many of the other great guitar players, he never played a song the same way twice! Love this version of SGB. And I don't think the harmonica song has a name, it's a "country jam" similar to what I do on harmonica. I could certainly be wrong and would welcome a correction.

One of the real quality stamps for me is that the live versions of these songs here sound better than their respective recordings. I mean, obviously the overall sound in this live clip isn't as clear and defined due to various reasons, like poor sample rate, but it still has that warm aura around it due to it originating from tape. Not to mention how flawless the playing and singing is. Technical brilliance is only part of it. It sounds super cliché but they really capture the spirit of whatever song they're performing.

I don't follow Billy Strings, but I've probably seen a few live clips of him. In the end, I think it's good that someone gives attention to semi-forgotten musical heroes like Doc Watson. People like him need to be kept alive within the world of music, which is honestly getting more and more saturated with overproduced, quantized, soulless shit. I understand where you're coming from to a point though. I was looking through several music catalogues on spotify recently and realized how many frickin' good artists there has been. Real talent long gone. Having said that, I predict an artistical renaissance in the future as a result of money-grabbing producers who desecrate whatever good ideas they come across, as well as computer generated "crap" in terms of art in general. People may want the real deal, and will perhaps pay good money for it some day. Like old artisan craftsmen. Who knows. The pendulum will swing regardless.
