Doc Watson dies at 89 in NC

2 of 8: Richard Watson, top, hands his grandfather Doc Watson, a guitar pick, as the two play on the back porch of Doc's home in Deep Gap, N.C., March 15, 2000. Richard Watson can barely play his own part for watching his grandfather's amazingly nimble fingers. Richard almost missed the chance to learn from his grandfather. Doc almost retired 15 years ago, heartbroken over the death of his son Merle, Richard's father, who died in a tractor accident at age 36. Doc' love of music proved stronger than his grief and he returned to recording and touring. (AP Photo/Karen Tam) ( Photo)
