Wine Rambler Music Hour: Doc Watson
Thought it'd be nice to have some music here from time to time, to go with all that wine. And it's my great honour to have a real legend of American music open this segment: This charming little video captures the great folk musician Doc Watson in a guitar maker's workshop, obviously trying out a new instrument. "Telling my troubles to my old guitar" is just a harmlessly swinging Chet Atkins tune. But in Doc's off-the-cuff-version, this becomes a little marvel of thumping guitar strings and stoic perfection.
And I dare say my co-rambler Torsten will enjoy the little hint of a yodel at the end.

Easy to remember, true.
Someone kept singing it in our kitchen.
It's hard to imagine that there could be a good song about Riesling.
It's a shame.
