Hi everybody.

Last month I released two special episodes to celebrate Doc Watson's 100th birthday. I chatted to so many amazing people for them I ended up with almost 5 hours of content!

I'm aware not everyone has the time to listen to that much content, so I've decided to pull out some of the key bits and release them as standalone episodes, for those of you who'd like to hear these interviews separately.

The first one is my chat with Doc's long serving musical partner Jack Lawrence. I hope you enjoy it!

If you already heard the Doc episodes then you've heard this - it's the same content. If not and this has whetted your appetite, you'll find them here:

Part 1

Part 2

I'll release a couple more of these over the coming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled!

Happy picking,
Matt
