"Your Lone Journey" with his wife Rosa Lee Watson. The music world yet lost another legend this evening with the passing of guitar virtuoso Doc Watson, who was 89. The eight-time Grammy winner
died shortly after 7:00 p.m. (EDT) at the Wake Forest Ba...ptist Medical
Center in Winston-Salem, NC after undergoing surgery for an impacted colon last week. He had initially been hospitalized after a fall.Doc was humble, and about as laid back as they came. But when he
attacked his custom-made Gallagher guitar with a flat pick, he ruled the stage. His self-taught style and the work of the late Clarence White paved the way for Tony Rice, Jim Hurst and other super pickers of today.

Men and women who worked for the Machias Lumber Company before 1930 share their recollections of the logging industry in Maine when they cut trees by
hand, hauled logs to the river with horses, and floated them down to the mill.
Remarkable docume...ntary footage from the 1930's illustrates this dangerous and and exhausting work. The memoires include stories about death on the job and the ballad "The Jam on Gerry's Rock". A good video to show how the people lived and their music at the time.

2:49 The Coon Creek Girls were a popular all-girl "string band" in the Appalachian style of folk music (a precursor of country music) which began in the mid-1930s. Created (and named) by John Lair for his Renfro Valley Barn Dance show, the band origi...nally consisted of sisters Lily May and Rosie Ledford (from Powell County, Kentucky) along with Esther "Violet" Koehler (from Indiana) and Evelyn "Daisey" Lange (from Ohio).
In 1939, when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited the White House of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, there were numerous musical acts, including Lawrence Tibbett, Marion Anderson, and Kate Smith. Also included were a troupe of Bascom Lunsford's square dancers, and the Coon Creek Girls.
In 1979, John Lair revived the name with the New Coon Creek Girls, a combo which remained popular for several decades, despite numerous changes in line-up.
