Listening to Foggy Mountain Breakdown LOUD driving down the highway has got me several speeding tickets in my life. It just has a way of doing it to you.

AMEN! It does, indeed. One of the best times I ever had was driving over a back road in PA on my way to visit my sister and this started playing. I had grown up driving country roads so I was enjoying it and going for all it was worth. My sons were laughing - my wife, not so much. Oh well 😄 She never had much of a sense of humor anyway. I'm probably lucky I didn't wrap us around a tree, but damned if I couldn't almost hear the sounds of those 'revenuers' coming after me! LOL

What’s amazing to me is how, today, we have KZbin and the technology that these men didn’t have back then and yet I still can’t figure out how to play it. Mr. Scruggs created this in his own mind back in 1949. Simply amazing

One of my favorite songs growing up, my Uncle played Banjo! Was amazed by how fast his fingers moved! Not like guitar players! Hardly any movement! I loved it, still do today and I am now 70 years old!

Too many are falsely called "A LEGEND" these days... That word was created for such as EARL SCRUGGS, A TRUE LEGEND!!! One other note: The looks, the smiles between this father and his middle son say it all... love, pride, respect. Nice.

Absolute King of the Banjo World! I got to see Earl & Randy quite a few times over the years, the best was at the Ozark Music Festival July 19-21, 1974 Sedalia, MO. Even in 100'+ temps, they rocked the stage!!!

I like Ricky Skaggs and think he’s a great performer and or musician and an all around good guy and I know he didn’t mean to insult anyone but when he said frailing sounded awful saying imagine that’s how bad it would sound if it hadn’t been for Earl Scruggs what an insult that was to people like Grandpa Jones,Stringbean, Bashful Brother Oswald, Ralph Stanley who often played clawhammer style, Josh Graves and others. Earl himself has said he enjoyed clawhammer banjo playing.
