I saw him at Bonnaroo back in '03 or '04. It was just him and another guy on stage, and it is still one of the top 5 sets I have ever seen. One of the best flat pickers ever!

RIP

i saw him a couple of times at the Exit/In in nashville when i was going to school. (also saw Vasser Clements there as well as Browinie & Sonny and also Norman Blake...)

he will be sorely missed. he was truly a phenomenal flat picker and a lot of today's wiz's owe him a debt.

RIP, Doc.

Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove I say
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound to go away

Cheeks as red a a blooming rose
And eyes are the prettiest brown
She's the darling of my heart
Sweetest girl in towm

(chorus)
(break)

I wish I had a big fine horse
And corn to feed him on
And Shady Grove to stay at home
And feed him while I'm gone

(chorus)
(break)

Went to see my Shady Grove
She was standing in the door
Her shoes and stockin's in her hand
And her little bare feet on the floor

(chorus)
(break)

When I was a little boy
I wanted a Barlow knife
And now I want little Shady Grove
To say she'll be my wife

(chorus)
(break)

A kiss form pretty little Shady Grove
Is sweet as brandy wine
And ther ain't no girl in this old world
Thats's prettier than mine

(chorus)


RIP Doc Watson, and thank you.
