RE: The Reason I Wake Up — Exclusive to DSound / Song 007 (of a Million)
Enjoyable song man. Makes me miss Chapel Hill and Doc Watson and the old mandolin I lost long ago. Cheers.

Thanks @captainvapoor ! Did you live in Chapel Hill? Did you see Doc? And tell me more about the mandolin.
I lived in Raleigh and actually got to see Doc Watson, Peter Rowan, and Merle Watson - I can't remember where it was though - the mandolin was a 12 string beauty - I think I sold it in the late 1990s for drinking money....that was a stupid decision.
Wait a minute - Merle wasn't there - it was at Merlefest so he was already gone for the long sleep!
You might have seen Richard Watson with Doc / his grandson.
A 12-string mandolin? Wow!
Also, I call myself a ne'er-do-well pretty often. Great term :)
