Doc Watson - Tom Dooley

I spent half of my childhood growing up in Deep Gap with neighbors and friends related (kin) to Doc Watson. I would see him perform yearly at Parkway Elementary school. I would hear stories and think nothing of his fame, popularity or sincere impression on folk music that he imprinted not only in the U.S. but worldwide. Last year I took a class in college called Appalachian Culture that really opened my eyes and made me appreciate all the ordinary things around me and all the rooted history that has shaped this area.. as he said he was just "one of the people" and to outsiders he was something as a national icon or trademark to this region of where I'm from in the Appalachia. This story is about a woman and a man who fell in love and had to hide their love, and in their doings of so they suffered a grim fate.
