Watson (March 3, 1923- May 29, 2012) joined us on Mountain Stage four times since 1988. The archetypal acoustic guitarist in folk and bluegrass genres, Watson’s music continues to inspire multiple generations of players with his deft picking and easy-going singing voice, as displayed in our Song of the Week, “Walk On Boy.”
