  1. Doc Watson, Folk Music Icon, Dies At 89 : The Record : NPR

    The blind folk musician from North Carolina revolutionized not just how people play guitar but the way people around the world think about mountain music. He was 89 years old.

    His manager said in a statement that Watson died at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, after abdominal surgery last week.

    Watson was born in Deep Gap, N.C., in the Blue Ridge Mountains, in a three-room house he shared with eight brothers and sisters. He revolutionized not just how people play guitar but the way people around the world think about mountain music.

  4. A Gift to Future Selves

    Another in the series of experimental, filmic, soundscape, found sound, ambient, folk, classical montage mixes.

    Headphones recommended. Darker in tone than previous mixes, but that darkness is punctuated by positivity and possibly resolved.

    Listening in eeries places (like whilst on the London Underground alone) is perhaps not recommended.
