Thanks Choggie,
Back in the 70s, I was in a bar in Blowing Rock, NC (about 10 miles from Doc and Merle's home), and took a seat at the bar next to Merle. He was three sheets to the wind. We were both there to see Steve Morse and the Dixie Dregs. Merle liked all kinds of music. He looked at me and said, "that's one good m*****f***er."
When Merle died in that tractor roll over, it hit us all. Obviously, Doc was devastated. These days, Doc tours with Merle's son, but, I have to say, he's no Merle on the guitar.

SnoozeDr you, lucky...!!! Wow, I would have loved to have seen/heard that. Old Piedmont mountain-y style finger picking is the happiest music ever played.
