David Holt has won Grammy Awards but he says his greatest honor was playing with the late Doc Watson for 14 years. Watson died at 89, following abdominal surgery. Holt visited Watson's hospital room and told the legend how much he was loved. He also performed Amazing Grace shortly before the guitar icon passed. Holt says Watson is the greatest American folk musician in history, saying that his "fingers danced" when he played.\n\nwww.wlos.com _______________ Follow WLOS on social media: WLOS ABC 13 News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/News13/ WLOS ABC 13 News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WLOS_13 WLOS ABC 13 News on Instagram: https://instagram.com/wlos_13 Subscribe to WLOS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ABC13Channel/?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to AnchorMOMS, the Podcast: https://wlos.com/news/anchormoms/anchormoms-the-podcast Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk8Ge6UXHJs&list=PLkVbaoT-aYbIvnEpR0Ct5QQQqYaORUSUH For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.wlos.com Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://wlos.com/watch Have a news tip?
