First time in his life my son recommended a musician to me - Doyle Dykes

I'd never heard of him before. This guy and his guitar are as one.

Excellent!
Fingerpicking is hard enough, but on a 12 string? WOW!!!
I just looked at my 12 string..... And my fingers started hurting.....

My Dad was a guitarist, cut several records in Mt. Airy, just South of here. 1954 he bought us our first TV so we could watch him on TV - "FFV Cracker Boys" (Sponsors, but they had to make money some way) Channel 10 Roanoke, Va. I spent a lot of time around him watching his playing. He wasn't patient enough for me to have learned.

But I have an ingrained appreciation of guitarists.

I've had a very deep appreciation of music all through my life, and this guy playing in those videos is one of the greats.
