In memoriam: Doc Watson
Legendary bluegrass guitarist Doc Watson has passed away. I remember covering one of his songs for a music therapy class I was part of years ago called "Mama Don't Allow No Music" and having a lot of fun with that. Watson was an innovator in terms of his flatpicking technique on the acoustic guitar, bringing it along with upright bass, banjo, mandolin and fiddle into the core of a bluegrass band.

Rest In Peace, Doc Watson.
