Re: RIP Earl Scruggs
He was a living legend, a monumental musician of epic proportion.
Rest easy, and keep pickin' and grinnin' Earl, wherever you are.

Re: RIP Earl Scruggs
Laying on my stomach in the middle of the living room floor face propped up on my hands.. kicking my feet 160 times a minute and diging the excitement that music creates in all kinds of people.. back when taste wasn't rare, and most people were pretty cordial with each other.
Thanks for the fuel, Earl! Don't let Monroe call the song list.

Always an inspiration to all musicians, with his skill, his modesty,
and his open mind, accepting to all good musicianship.
A true master.

Such modesty for a man that basically invented the style:

He probably did more for the banjo than Hendrix did for the electric guitar.

There's no doubt he did more for banjo.He had a huge influence on guitar players also.Think of Jerry's Reeds breakdown,LeftyStrat wrote:Such modesty for a man that basically invented the style:

The banjo was considered a prop for comedians before Earl.He transended so many different styles and was always breaking new ground.
Re: RIP Earl Scruggs
My first stringed instrument was the banjo and i learned some scruggs. Sorry to hear this news. I found out here just now! I just saw him last week on tv...
