Biography |
As a classical musician, David "Fox" Watson was accepted for study in the prestigious North Carolina School for the Performing Arts, but realized during his first year at the school that "Blue Grass" music held a great fascination for him. His musical interests took him from the North Carolina mountains to Canada and back. In 1980 he was a staff member of the North Carolina Juvenile Evaluation Center at Swannanoa. |
