    Re: Happy Birthday Doc Watson

    Bluegrass Life posted this on Facebook, and now that I know Doc has held a mandolin in his hands, I am assured it is a sacred instrument.

    Listening to other Italian players, I would say the Carmelo Sciplino style is more of a regional folk style than even a classical form.
