#NowPlaying an acoustic medley to ease into the new year...
BILL DAVIS and his Singing Dulcimer - SMOKY MOUNTAIN MELODIES (Old Tradition, 1972). Bill was a renowned dulcimer luthier from Gatlinburg, TN, who could play too! Accompanied here on a few songs by folksinger and guitarist George Anne Egerton. #BillDavis#dulcimer#folk@vinylrecords
... #NowPlaying DOC WATSON ON STAGE FEATURING MERLE WATSON (Vanguard, 1970). Recorded live at Cornell University and Town Hall, New York (dates?). A wonderful collection of traditional old timey tunes by Doc & Merle at their flatpickin finest. #DocWatson#OldTime#bluegrass#folk#CountryBlues#gospel@vinylrecords
Continuing my trawl through old Doc Watson tapes on YT, and stumbled upon a color vid of Doc & Merle from 1978.
No info on where the tape is from other than "1978" (wild guess: a random TV show, probably in the south)
But there's enough color to see that Doc's hair isn't all white yet, and the thumbnail of Michael Coleman exudes extreme "dirty hippie with good stuff in the van" vibes.
