In the latter half of the 20th century there were three pre-eminently influential folk/country guitar players: Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Arthel "Doc" Watson, a flat-picking genius from Deep Gap, NC.

I grew up listening to your music. This is the kind of stuff I really wish they'd play more of on the radio.
