This is a great series on Clarence. There is one little bit that I don't really agree with – you talk about Doc Watson's &#1u&0;bl2es2#8228; licks – I don't think that's really accurate. Back then Doc was really a folksinger in a bluegrass style. Also, according to Tony Rice, who grew up near Clarence and idolized him, Clarence was playing lead bluegrass guitar before Doc's first album came out; so for Tony, Clarence was the first bluegrass lead guitarist. He took his inspiration from his brother Roland – Clarence wanted to play on the guitar what his brother played on mandolin.
