By the way, we just got this issue in the mail and it's fantastic.  Dan Crary's tribute to Doc is the most moving thing I've read since he passed.  A truly eloquent and fitting eulogy from one of the few men alive who can truly be called one of Doc's contemporaries.  The rest of the issue is great as well.  If you're a fan of Doc, you won't be able to get through it with dry eyes.

When Roy Curry won the flat picking this last Sat he told how Doc Watson changed his mind from wanting to play banjo to wanting to play guitar. The song was Red Haired Boy. Then he picked it out for us in a very pretty fashion. Mike Smyth
