Born and raised on a High Country farm, Watson rose to fame in the early '60s, bridging the gap between folk music and bluegrass, and would go on to release dozens of albums and win multiple Grammys.

    When walking through one of Winston-Salem’s many parks, you may encounter a box resembling one of those Little Free Libraries where people share books with neighbors. But when you open the box, instead of finding books, you’ll see a collection of notes, photos, remembrances, and yes, Valentines, dedicated to departed pets. They’re part of the Little Pet Chapel Project, the brainchild of local author and artist Lynn Byrd. Byrd has a background in veterinary medicine and animal tracking.
