I agree, one of the best (IMO) versions of this song I have heard. The acoustic work was beautiful...

What a great duo... doesn't get much better.  I am a huge fan of the Garcia and Grisman work (and Jerry Garcia in general), but Doc can do wonders on that flat-top.  Good thing I don't have to choose one or the other {#Think}

Heard the first chords and thought it was gonna be Leon Redbone. This is nice too however!
 
I like Leon Redbone, but his act is just that: an act. Mssrs. Watson and Grisman are the real deal through and through.

Started out sounding like the Mills Bros. 

Very nice song.

Thank god its not Redbone. This is just well done. My office mate would be ripping the skin off his death metal face though if he heard it.

Woo hoo!  More Doc!

Doc Watson is still going strong at age 87, he is touring right now I believe.  Get yourself out there and see a living legend!
