  • For one historic evening, American music legends Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson and Ricky Skaggs joined forces as the three pickers, to film a concert for public television. The music they made before a North Carolina audience is as relaxed as a front porch picking session, informed by the skill and good humor of three master musicians who contributed so much to the creation and evolution of bluegrass music. With special guest Alison Krauss

    I have listened to this video so many times and it remains the best performance of Bluegrass music by Masters, ever!! I was born to love Bluegrass music even though I was born in South Africa. God bless the Late Earl and Doc as well as Ricky for doing this. You get a Bluegrass history lesson as well. Magnificent!

    I was fortunate enough to see Doc Watson in concert at the historical Midland Theater in Newark, Ohio a few years before he passed away. It was one of the most wonderful experiences that my wife, eldest son, and I ever had. The theater was sold out, and Doc had the whole crowd in awe of his performance. The man was past 80 years old even then. What a national treasure Doc Watson was, and still is to America. God bless Doc, and his (late) son, Merle Watson.❤

      There's certainly a bluegrass club in one of the small cities near you. Great old songs and 3 chords...what's not to love? Check the local senior citizens center; they'll probably have a musical get-together scheduled once a month. Once you find your peeps it just mushrooms.
      For those of you who are around 40 years of age, you'll hear the sweetest words: _it's so nice to see you young folks comin' out!_

    Bluegrass is one of the pillars of Rock and Roll music. When you listen to fast-paced, intricate music, it is easy to see where heavy metal got it's root s. This is especially true regarding Bill Monroe's Hard Driving Mandolin!

      Doc never looked confused -- when he was playing or not. He didn't ride the guitar like a bullrider. He pulled music out of it like it's the bridge between his heart and our ears. But, yes, Rick does look at Doc and Earl like they're his heroes because they were two of his heroes.
