Abstract:

Arthel \"Doc\" Watson of Deep Creek has been blind since the age of one. This has not prevented him from making music for over fifty years. His flatpicking style has brought a new role to the acoustic guitar in American folk music. He is a winner of five Grammy awards and is much sought after for performances.
