Saturday: At 87, Watson doesn't get around much anymore -- maybe one to three gigs a month. Twin Cities area fans are fortunate that we're the folk legend's only concert for May. He's returning to the Cedar Cultural Center, where he put on a spellbinding concert 10 years ago. Watson is a wonderful singer, a flat-picking pioneer and a traveling encyclopedia of traditional songs. His performances are as educational as they are entertaining because he invariably explains the history or context of each tune. (8 p.m. Sat. Sold out. Cedar Cultural Center, 416 Cedar Av. S., Mpls. 612-338-2674.)
