Earl Scruggs dies at 88

Earl Scruggs with his son Randy and the Earl Scruggs Revue, introduced bluegrass to many folks who would not otherwise have listened to the genre. One of my favorite pickers for sure. Pick on, Brother Earl, pick on.

Mr. Scurggs was a great player. Probably one of the best. He starred in a duo with Lester Flatt. I remember seeing them in concert and hearing their records played in my home as a boy. They played bluegrass and country when country was country and not rock and roll with a twang in disguise.

Earl was a musical giant and a humble man. His contributions to country music will never be forgotten.
