This is a wonderful album by this much missed master of the flat top guitar. Check out the downloads on this link http://frobbi.org/picking.html
ReplyDeletethey have been professionally recorded, mainly on reel to reel. There is over 3 hours of concerts by Doc Watson, his son Merle and Don Reno. The other downloads are mainly bluegrass of which there is a treasure trove of wonderful stuff also recorded by Fred

ReplyDeleteI came across this link the other day http://ezfolk.com/category/documentary/ it features an early BBC UK Omnibus Program about Doc Watson. Although the visuals leave a bit to be desired the content is superb and worth a watch. The other doc about Bill Monroe, "The Father of Bluegrass features superb guitar picking by, such as, Clarence White, Kentucky Colonels"and Byrd's fame and Peter Rowan and there again worth a watch
