Doc Watson Healthy & Home

Doc Watson - photo by Allen Aycock For The Washington PostWe have word that Doc Watson is home and recovering nicely from his recent surgery.

In spite of a slight problem on the way home that caused a return to the hospital, Doc arrived at home last night and is healing up nicely. At 85 years old, the legendary guitar picker is quite strong and his doctors expect a quick return to health.

Thank you to everyone who sent cards and letters, they have been forwarded to Doc and I’m sure he’ll enjoy being able to look through them at his leisure as he recuperates.
