Legend (w/ Legends)

R.I.P. Earl Scruggs



[Doc f'in' shredding here.]







Here's a fair obit, especially the part about how revolutionary his mellifluous finger-pickin' style was vs. the old-time claw-hammer banjo. Heaven just got higher & lonesomer.

[Personal Note: I, too, grew up in Cleveland County, NC, near Shelby. Grew up with this music. My cousin was married to Earl's nephew.]

[Further Personal Note: I've been privileged to see all these GREATS live in concert.]
