Got a CNN news break that the great Doc Watson died today at the age of 89. He and Earl are probably already picking away.
First time I heard many of these bluegrass players was on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band compilation "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" - a fine, fine collection.
Nice write up in the Times:
