Abstract
During the big folk revival, one of the acts to emerge was blind guitarist Arthel “Doc” Watson. He became a legendary and much-beloved figure on the folk circuit, with a highly influential style of flat-picking, even though he himself always claimed to be nothing special. Gone since 2012, Watson’s influence lives on through MerleFest, the annual music festival in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, that he started in the 1980s to honor his late son and accompanist Merle Watson.
