January 6th A Very Important Day In Our Country’s History

What a great day in our country.

It’s Earl Scruggs birthday







Earl Scruggs - Wikipedia

Yesterday, lthe wife and I visited the Earl Scruggs museum in the center of Shelby, NC. Highly recommend a visit if you haven’t been.

He was a great picker

I can't take away from Earl Scruggs. The Flatt and Scuggs duo was surely a match made in heaven like Lennon and Mccartney. At the same time the threads here inspire me to comment. When my cousin Ronnie needed rehab, guess who was his sponsor? ralph stanley oh brother where art thou - Bing How in the dickens did that happen? video-stanleys-death-hits-home-for-anderson-man (independentmail.com). Charles Hamby was his stepdad and my uncle. Those annual bluegrass festivals were as close as I ever got to Woodstock.
So, Cousin Ronnie is gone, Ronnie Jr. is gone, Moms oldest sister Betty (Charlese's widow) has some form of anal cancer. Time marches on. Long live bluegrass.

YES SIR!!! Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs!!!! Down home pickers!!!!
