Doc Watson, Santa Cruz, CA 10-27-88 (SBD)

Doc Watson. His given name was Arthe Lane Watson. He was born in Deep Gap North Carolina in 1923. He became blind at a very young age but grew up to become one of the greatest flat picker guitar players ever.  Doc Watson passed away in 2012 at the age of 89.  But his music and spirit lives on in recordings like this.  The sound quality is very good. Sitting in with Doc is Jack Lawrence. Hope you enjoy.

Bill Monroe, four shows from 1954 to 1969

William Smith Monroe (September 13, 1911 – September 9, 1996) Bill Monroe was one of the most influential persons in the development of bluegrass music, which takes its name from his band, the "Blue Grass Boys," named for Monroe's home state of Kentucky. Monroe's performing career spanned 60 years as a singer, instrumentalist, composer and bandleader. He is often referred to as The Father of Bluegrass. Here are some great recordings of this more than legendary artist. These are historical documents of the most influential musician of bluegrass music. These have Doc Watson on one and Del McCoury on another

This show was the first event that used the words, "Bluegrass Festival," and was promoted by the legendary singer and recording artist, Bill Clifton. The location was Oak Leaf Park in Luray, Virginia, and the date was July 4, 1961. This was also the first time that more than two well-known Bluegrass acts were booked on the same show. Prior to that occasion, one or two Bluegrass bands would be booked on a country show of that period. The festival was a one day event that featured Bill Monroe, The Stanley Brothers, The Country Gentlemen, Jim and Jesse, Mac Wiseman and Bill Clifton. This was also the first time that Bill Monroe called former members of The Blue Grass Boys to the stage to play and sing. When 2,200 people attended the show, it opened up a new venue for Bluegrass music.

David Grisman appearently is selling it. Why it is his to sell I have no idea.

I guess because he claimed he taped it. So tapers if you tape it you can sell it?
