Deep River Blues - Doc Watson, David Grisman & Jack Lawrence

Doc Watson has known David Grisman since the latter was a teenager stunning veteran performers at New York City folk clubs in the 1960s. Aside from the pleasures of picking with an old friend, the reward of playing with Grisman is simple: "He knows music," Doc says, "That's your nutshell answer. He knows what it's about."

Coming from a master musician for whom the gift of music is the only reason worth leaving the sweet comforts of family and home, that is the highest praise. In this unique concert video Doc and David with their friend Jack Lawrence present their unique blend of country, jazz, bluegrass and folk-music.

Titles include: Bye Bye Blues, Shady Grove, Summertime, Sweet Georgia Brown, Hobo Bill's Last Ride, In The Pines. Long Journey Home,Lonesome Moonlight Waltz, EMD, I Don't Love Nobody, Blue Eyed Jane, Kentucky Waltz, Will You Be Loving Another Man, Deep River Blues, Soldier's Joy, Medley: Big Sandy/Salt Creek, Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms and Roll On Buddy.

Doc was a national treasure
Jimmy Carter had to sush the crowd at a white house dinner that featured a performance by Doc
Stupid people that had NO IDEA who the man was - political a--holes
like we have now
This tune was the first tune I wanted to play on the 6 string
I'm a 5 string picker
Doc turner me a multi instrumentalist
This tune is etched in my left and right hands
Doc deservers his place in the angel band along with the other pioneers that finally got recognition for the love of true American music
His generation paved the way for the music I've made a living off off
I play git box, 5, bass and dobro
Hail to DOC
