What's Up, Doc?

I've got an interview with 88 year old guitar playing genius Doc Watson in today's Sunday Inquirer A & E section. I talked to him on the phone from his home in Deep Gap, N.C. last month, and I asked him many questions, though not the one found in this blog post's headline. That Q and A is here. Here's a link to a clip of Watson playing "John Hardy" with Earl Scruggs. Below you can find a bunch of videos demonstrating the good Doctor's dexterity. Watson plays the Keswick Theater in Glenside tonight with David Holt, with Tony Trischka opening up. It's a benefit for the Philadelphia Folksong Society.
