Because I can remember as a student at ASU in the 70s, hanging out at Clyde's in Blowing Rock when Merle and Doc Watson would walk in and start playing and I have been wanting to go to Merle Fest forever and most of all because when my daughter brought home one of your first CDs several years ago, we spent an entire trip listening to your CD over and over and I have loved your your music ever since and also because you shouldn't discrimate against old people with young hearts.
