Master flatpicker Doc Watson died Tuesday in North Carolina, according
to his manager. The folk-music icon, 89, died Tuesday, after a fall
last week at his home in Deep Gap, N.C., and subsequent colon surgery.
Blind from infancy, Watson grew up playing harmonica and a homemade
banjo but learned guitar after his father bought him a $12 Stella
acoustic when he was 13. Born Arthel Lane Watson, he picked up the
nickname "Doc" at the suggestion of an audience member at a radio
broadcast when he was in his teens.
