    • Eugene Polley died today - he invented the Flash-Matic in the 50s, the 1st TV wireless remote. Couch Potatoes would not exist without this man!

          Doc Watson, Folk Musician, Dies at 89
          By WILLIAM GRIMES
          Published: May 29, 2012

          Doc Watson, the guitarist and folk singer whose flat-picking style elevated the acoustic guitar to solo status in bluegrass and country music, and whose interpretations of traditional American music profoundly influenced generations of folk and rock guitarists, died on Tuesday in Winston-Salem, N.C. He was 89.

          Mr. Watson, who had been blind since he was a year old, died in a hospital after recently undergoing abdominal surgery

                  • It's not even June and I'm starting to worry about this year's outcome. Seems I picked all the wrong musicians.
