Enjoyed his and Lester Flatt's music. The Bluegrass harmony is timeless.

RIP

RIP old friend...

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."

Well, an otherwise good day is now ruined.

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.

Jim Richards 03-29-2012 09:50 AM
Your inspiration was Deliverance? :eek:

Dang. Sad news indeed.

RIP, Mr Scruggs.

As an aside - was that Steve Martin I spotted in the video? Probably not - probably have a caffeine derived hallucination...

Steve Martin is an excellent banjo player. Seriously.

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? :confused:

Edit: Is that Mike Campbell at :50?

Yes amongst that cast of thousands was Steve. He is a VERY good banjo player.

Like losing the Les Paul of banjo.

was sorry to hear about this. owned a 5 string for about 10 years and tried my hardest to get that roll down but couldnt get beyond clawhammer. the guy was awsome

J P Stein 03-29-2012 02:11 PM
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.:D
