R.I.P. indeed. I celebrated a moment of silence yesterday when I heard the sad news, then picked up my banjer and picked my way through "Foggy Mountain Breakdown."

We have a 5-string in the house as well. It's funny because I got caught up in the 70's banjo thing that was driven by Deliverance. My son got into it because of Mumford and Sons. You can't keep a good banjo down...
god speed and Earl rocked. |

My wife and I were fortunate enough to see LF & ES in Gatlinburg in '77... man, what a tour de force.
I was glad to see they let Russell take a solo in that video... until that happened, he looked more like a wax museum version of himself. I wish they had let the bass player take one... what is up with that, and who was it?  Edit: Is that Mike Campbell at :50?

I had a good friend....we grew up together......who was a hell of a banjo picker.
He told me that Earl's Breakdown was the toughest for him. Earl has a couple of oopies too.  Earl's Breakdown - YouTube
