Continuing my trawl through old Doc Watson tapes on YT, and stumbled upon a color vid of Doc & Merle from 1978.

No info on where the tape is from other than "1978" (wild guess: a random TV show, probably in the south)

But there's enough color to see that Doc's hair isn't all white yet, and the thumbnail of Michael Coleman exudes extreme "dirty hippie with good stuff in the van" vibes.

Good times

Bluegrass musician Doc Watson would have turned 100 yesterday. He was born on March 3rd, 1923 in an unincorporated county called Deep Gap, North Carolina, and he was blind from the age of 1. Such a legend, he has to be one of the best things to ever come from Southern culture. Love Bob Dylan and Dave Van Ronk and the like, but Doc Watson was one of the few truly authentic folk/bluegrass musicians making music in the early 60's.
