Thursday Pickin'

When I was about 18 years old and working as a still wet behind the ears, vinyl spinning, obituary reading weekend DJ at WKSK AM 580, I had the pleasure of visiting with this gentleman at his home and even got a personal tour of his basement recording studio. I am sure that my "all access pass" at Doc Watson's NC mountain home, was in part due to my Dad being the pastor of the local church and I am also sure I didn't really fathom the fact that I was listening to one of the great guitar pickers of our day tell me preacher jokes. The one Mr.Watson told me is a much cleaner version of the last one on this page .
