Age 80
Beverly "Guitar" Watkins was an unsung blues guitar legend known for her attacking playing style. For full obituary and coverage from Legacy.com, click here.
I was at Underground Atlanta, in the late 1990's, walking around after getting my hair cut. I saw this lady holding a guitar and what I think was a sound engineer talking to her. Had no idea who she was until I looked down and saw her name on her CD! I had no money to buy her cd, no paper and pencil for an autograph and no camera! Will never forget seeing her though.

I am 79 yrs old and I just discovered you. I stand in awe of your playing. Your music brings me much joy. Well done. I hope that you also hear that from the Living God, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah!
