RIP Earl Scruggs

[Rick Lee]

Title sort of says it all. He was 88 and played a *mean* banjo.

[Bryan Bear]

I was just thinking of Earl this morning. I'll practice Scruggs rolling in his honor tonight.

Makes me feel even older

Guess I missed the edit window. Meant to add that his music and style were a huge influence on me many years ago when I discovered bluegrass and started playing the banjo.

I remember listening to Earl and Lester many times with my Dad over the years. Their music gave us a lot of pleasure and inspired my Dad to buy a banjo that I still have. RIP, Earl Scruggs.

Netflix has the 1950's Flat and Scruggs tv show available for instant viewing. It's wonderful.

[Thomas Dooher]

Very talented performer. He brought popularity to a genre that wasn't given much respect in mainstream. RIP, Earl.

[Darrel Friesen]

My first introduction to Flatt and Scruggs was their appearances on the Beverly Hillbillies. Some great music that will live on.

[Arnt Rian]

One of the greats, for sure. Rest in peace.
