Playlist with individual songs - • Doc Watson & Bill Monr...
In the mid 1970's I was barely a teenager learning to play the fiddle. I was in Stuart, VA at a bluegrass festival when I came across an elderly gentleman sitting in the shade beside his chevy van. We sat there in the shade and talked for a few moments and next thing we began to have a parking lot jam session. Kind of a wisdom and youth thing! Within 10 minutes, there was several hundred people standing around listening to us. We played for about a half hour before I broke off the session off because I was shy and didn't like crowds. It wasn't until a few years later that I realized the man sitting in the shade was Doc Watson. A few weeks later, I was at a bluegrass festival in the Crimora, VA and my uncle was a festival promoter. At about 11 pm he sent for me and my fiddle, I met him behind stage and he said there is someone I want you to meet. I said, Who? He pushed me out on stage and there was Bill Monroe. Mr. Monroe look down at me and said "Son, What are you going to play?" I was star struck, I whispered "Goldrush"...He said that a good one and then he looked over at Kenny Baker and said "Kenny, Why don't you back him up?" For 3 minutes, I was a Bluegrass Boy...When I finished Mr. Monroe looked down at me and said "Kenny, I think he out to get your job"...It wasn't but a few years later that I met the love of my life and I hung up my fiddle and bow and have been fiddlin around with her for 40 years...Both of those events are precious memories to me. I have traveled the world on business travel, met a US President, Astronauts, movie stars but nothing compares to those two brief encounters with the Masters of Bluegrass. There are stars on the streets of Hollywood but these two gentlemen have stars in Heaven...
@Sparky Runner New York's a place you move from not to. I'll take the South any day of the week. Wouldn't move to NY for all the money in Texas and California put together. It's God's country.
@Sparky Runner Only a jackass would willingly want to live in NY.
Wow... What a journey ! I love tales of inspiration when "regular people" are fortunate enough to meet a legend. Thank you for sharing !
Yes They never let the deal go down...all thi a other is based on their work. THEY ARE MONUMENTS
More than one star
Thanks for allowing us mere mortals this glimpse of Zeus and Hercules
If my house was on fire, I would grab the '71 D-28 Doc signed for me. I got kinda star struck and left him standing there with his hand out saying ' well son, if I had a guitar that picked that good I wouldn't let nobody go a writing on it'. Thanks Doc. I met Bill at the Kansas City Spirit Fest in '95. I was one of maybe 20 people there. I was ashamed that the place wasn't packed with adoring fans, and after the show he came to the side of the stage and I 1st expressed my deep appreciation and gratitude for his music, and then I apologized for the poor attendance and the obvious lack of good taste and common sense in my fellow Kansas Citians and I believe I said I'd be willing to renounce any ties with the community if it would make him feel better, and he said 'son, I saw you standing right there up front, smiling and dancing around with that pretty girlfriend of yrs, and me and the boys came out to play for you and everybody else that enjoyed the show. That's how we show our appreciation and gratitude. Whether it's 2 or 200 that come to see us, I've never taken for granted the people that took the time out of their day and spent their hard earned money and come to hear us.' He sat there and talked to me well into the next bands set, and when Tom Ewing came over to tell Bill it was time to leave Bill introduced me to Tom as 'My dear friend Seamus' and insisted that Tom join the conversation and answer every question I had. Tom even said he'd step aside if the Lord had really spoken to me and said that he wanted me to be a Blue grass Boy. It's so cool when someone you admire and respect for their contributions and mastery of something so dear to you turns out to be a total gentleman and makes you feel like a peer and an equal. I've had much less competent people put themselves on a pedestal for you if you forget to and both Bill and Doc are that much greater in my eyes and my esteem for their willingness to make meeting them one of the great moments of my life (you should see the smile on my face that night while holding up the guitar Doc signed for me.)
D-28 …..LUCKY ✨👍✨
Thanks Seamus, for the fantastic story! Not a lot of folks today can say they got to meet with Bill Monroe and Doc Watson! I got to see Doc at The LEAF Festival in Black Mountain, NC in 2006...And that was an incredible experience! Bill and Doc were great musicians and wonderful people!👏😃

Doc use to visit/ guest star at a local TV station ' hickory NC that I played on when I was a kid in 1975 ' was a gospel bluegrass program ' Dudley Watson and the Woody family gospel bluegrass hour. I was 15 years old back then ' got to meet Doc several times back then and then later on in my mid 20's got meet up and play with him again a couple of times.
He was a big influence in my early years as a kid. I still have a strap he signed for me.
@@keithclark486That’s a great story my friend. Some people have all the luck.lol.
My cousin inherited my late father's original D'28 MARTIN GUITAR
God bless the UA-cam rabbit hole!
It's funny how everyone has an interesting story to tell in the comments about going to concerts and places and meeting famous bluegrass stars. I've only ever listened to folks like Bill, Doc, Ricky, and the like from the safety of my house. My love for bluegrass stems from my grandfather, who was born in Elk Horn, Kentucky and passed a few years ago. I try to honor him by sharing his love of bluegrass, especially Bill Monroe. ❤️
One fun spot of my pickin life was when my band opened Horse Pens 40,and I got to escort Doc down the hill to the stage,Doc said if you pick like you walk its gonna a slow set boy,and I laughed all through our set,he was one fun guy.
Mom lives in oneonta. I've grown up on sand mtn. Dad always talks about the concerts at horse pens back in the day (to me anyways). Wished they still had shows there.

Absolutely fantastic! Two of the greatest pickers to ever grace this world!
Two greats of Americana having a fun time...and the rest of we mortals being allowed a peek and a listen. Thanks for the clip!
I love this! To be treasured by fans of these beloved artists of the old time, mountain, and bluegrass genres of American music.
I was fortunate to have seen both of these gentlemen perform many times. Doc signed a Bluegrass Unlimited cap with his mark and his daughter wrote his name on it. A couple of years later I met Bill Monroe at his festival in Brown
County, In.. I asked him to sign the cap. When he saw Doc's name he said, "Are you sure you want me on here with Doc?" I said, "You and Doc are the instigators, right?" He said, "I guess so.," and signed it. I think they're still playing in the angel band.
For me, this is the most significant recording of all time! How come Doc and Bill only did this one time? Life sure is short!
There were other times! Check out their ‘Live Recordings 1963-1980’ album. ‘Paddy on the Turnpike’ really smokes on that.
They played the White House together
What we are missing in society today are good men like these 2.
maybe you should look harder :)
Two all time favorite music makers
Two great musicians that influenced countless others
I could not possibly love anything more than this.
Wow! Just happened across this on YT. I was in the audience for this set. After it wound down, I went back stage and got Bill’s autograph on a poster featuring him and his Gibson F-5L mandolin. It is mounted and hangs in my stereo room.
Monroe had the madolin memorized and never had to look at it when he plated. We have lost most of the greats.
Bill knew his way around that fingerboard for sure.
Doc never looked at his guitar when he played too. 😎
The best sounding mandolin I ever heard (and had the honour of playing when I visited the Father at his home). Thanks for sharing this wonderful footage ricgrass!.
History right there. If only the sound were better. Still, beggars cant be choosers and I thank you for posting this iconic scene.
Keep those video recorders rolling folks. This is Priceless. Thanks.
We were so lucky to be around when these two gentlemen were alive. Now with You Tube, we can still enjoy these marvelous musicians and human beings
My 2 greatest heroes! This is PRECIOUS!
The shear richness of this music and two great representatives of America great music tradition (music by the people for the people) is so amazing. Thanks for posting.
Much, much thanks for video. My baby loves it too as long as I dont sing along. That almost sounds like the name of a bluegrass song! :)
2 of the finest sorts right there boy,,,
wow, awesome, I didn't know these two ever performed together. I once had a mandolin autographed by Doc Watson. I hopped a fence at a bluegrass event in NC to get backstage and meet him. Actually, he didn't sign it, his wife did for him because he was blind.
I got his autograph 2003 in Lincoln NE.
God what a show!!! Thanks for uploading this... PURE GOLD!!!!!!
I love when that mandolin takes over.
Another song we play at the Bluegrass Cabin in Gulfport, Mississippi sung by Jerry Johnston, a man I taught banjo in the 1980's. Jerry became a music store owner-operator and now teachers children, banjo, fiddle, guitar and mandolin. Come by one Thursday evening, when we have a great jam.
Seeing this live would have been the greatest experience in my lifetime
Man, I wish I was there.
Thanks for posting this.
Wow! Cant fit all I want to say about these two together in this little box. Thanks for keeping these videos
Wow!! I was at this show! I recorded the audio with a Boombox next to the PA! But video will be a treat to watch! Thank you!
Hell yes. That is all.
Doc Watson, one of the best ever Rip..

So far no lol
two greats
Wow, 1990. Hot shit.
This is for real the best video on UA-cam
So wonderful
Great set, these guys are legends.
That was damn good right there.
Wow! The real thing! Get down!
Wow....!
Ok, Bill dancing was priceless.
This is particularly exciting because, although there is some overlap with material that Ralph Riinzler put on the Smithsonian Folkways off the record volume 2 CD, there is also material which did not appear on that CD and none of this particular recording appears on that CD.
From his liner notes, Rinzler seems not to be aware that this recording existed because he said that the Smithsonian Folkways CD contained all the repertoire that they performed between 1963 and 1980. The material here which is not on that CD includes "Long Journey Home" and "Sally Goodin'."
Great posting....Cheers amigo(a).
memorable ... thank you!
THANKS perfect timing to get the jist of their interacting
well done! have got the album
I'm suprised the world hasn't imploded over this genius
they got their money's worth there - fantastic!
I heard zmr Bill play at THUNDERROAD IN Charlotte he was great but I was astray then
Hope them boys is in heaven EPH 2:8-9, sure would like to seem um there, I recon JESUS loves music.
I do believe that Jerry would of loved this
john galt i totally agree with your comment ,especially the part about the yuppyfied . Blues, folk, country , or should i say country hip hop , has all turned also.its not about quality any more . its more like fads , weak flash or as they call it lately , trends. Participation awards, PFFHH . Now , these two 100 percent. btw great story about walkin with Doc.
The CD only contains tracks from '63-'80. This performance is from 1990.
Kentucky meets North Carolina. Cool
M. Bill Monroe bending down to the mic :"I will never forget this !"
I'd really like to meet the 22 charmers who voted this down.
I'm sure I have downvoted things by accident before, that probably explains most of them
Walking the sea
✨🙏✨
pick your nose, pick your friends... just pick!
2 Kung Fu Masters
Damn skippy!
Shame the quality of sound is poor for two legends of Bluegrass.
I believe this was their last public performance together.
you do know when Doc says "say a good howdy" Bill flips everyone the "bird"
can't get to like this bluegrass doesn't really exist over here i find it monotonous even though an old pal us dedicated mandolin player and introduced me to bill Monroe back in 1980. i bet its really good to sit in a small room of musicians and listen live
So apparently Ry Cooder was in a short lived trio with them? Anyone know if this is correct?
Wow, never knew that. Ry sat in and played banjo but Bill told him he was not ready to be a Bluegrass Boy
Good lord. This seems too good to be true. Why wasn't there a pro film/production crew there filming this?
ok
Doc never looked either.
Great, but I wish the a holes would stop clapping their hands
