Great stuff.
Doc Watson, no slouch as a guitar picker himself, thought so highly of Merle Travis that he named his son Merle. Tragically, Merle Watson was killed in a tractor accident 25 years ago. I especially like the Travis version of "I Am a Pilgrim."
"I am a Pilgrim" is also one of the first songs I learned to finger pick. Here is one of Travis versions. Ken Sweet

I hope you guys throw in an occasional Toby Keith song just to spice it up a bit and get your heart pounding.

No offense, but Toby Keith?![]()
You want spice, you want heart pounding? Give me "Sally Goodin."

Was my Dad's favorite song. When he would set down to play that was usually the one we warmed up on. Or maybe "Down Yonder".
