YOU ARE VISITOR NUMBER since Jun 3, 1997.

This site was first launched in June 1997 and is still under heavy construction.
As far as Doc Watson is concerned, it started as an (occasionally annotated)
discography listing the Doc Watson recordings in my collection.
Lately, I have been adding some of the lyrics of
songs performed by him and some of the stories
told by Doc in concert, and several links to other Doc Watson
sites.
Another part of this site was added as a tribute to what I believe to be the greatest American songwriter (although "somewhat controversial"), Woody Guthrie, in memory of the 20th anniversary of his death on Oct 3, 1967.
Over the next few months, these pages will hopefully become closely interlinked with my BOB DYLAN MUSICAL ROOTS and my HISTORY IN SONG sites, with many more song lyrics, background info, historical photographs etc. being added.
If you know of any Doc Watson recordings which I do not have or which I may have overlooked and/or omitted, please feel free to send me a message. Other feedback (including transcribed lyrics, scans of pictures that you would allow me to use, etc.) is equally appreciated.
I'm always interested in tape trades (especially
for a version of Bob Dylan's "Buckets of Rain" performed by Doc Watson...
grovel, grovel), but sometimes I'm kinda slow in answering email -- and a
recent hard-disk crash wiped out the trading lists, email addresses, of the
people who contacted me already.
So, if you're still interested, please contact me again.
