   Farewell, Doc! It's amazing what a man from little Deep Gap, NC has added to the world.

   Lots of Doc popping up on bt.etree today if you are bittorrent capable.
   
   I'm downloading four shows right now including one with his son Merle and one with Taj Mahal.

   Another musical eulogy for Doc: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2012/05/doc-watson-.html
   
   An excerpt: "... his influence on the guitar and the beauty of his dynamic baritone, should serve as inspiration to any musician interested in the long game, in making music that endures not because of its shock value or its keen marketplace vision but because within its measured tones lies universal truth."
