@Mike Seaton I got to see Doc & Merle live in a small club outside Philly called the Main Point back in the late '60s early '70s. At the time I didn't even know who he was, just went with a bunch of friends. So this big guy comes out leading this older guy to the stage because Doc was blind, which again I had no idea. The guy leading him to the stage was his son Merle. They sit down, pick up their guitars & proceed to blow my brain right out of my head. I've been playing guitar ever since.
