As a tribute to the late Earl Scruggs I added a stanza to this song: Now Brother Scruggs he plays a tune Pickin' strings under the moon By the light of that moon globe He goes a'walkin' down the road R.I.P. Mr. Scruggs

Flatt and Scruggs won a Grammy Award in 1969 for Scruggs' instrumental "Foggy Mountain Breakdown". They were inducted together into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1985. In 1989, Scruggs was awarded a National Heritage Fellowship. He was an inaugural inductee into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor in 1991. In 1992, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts. In 1994, Scruggs teamed up with Randy Scruggs and Doc Watson to contribute the song "Keep on the Sunny Side" to the AIDS benefit album Red Hot + Country produced by the Red Hot Organization. In 2002 Scruggs won a second Grammy award for the 2001 recording of "Foggy Mountain Breakdown", which featured artists such as Steve Martin on 2nd banjo solo (Martin played the banjo tune on his 1970s stand-up comic acts), Vince Gill and Albert Lee on electric guitar solos, Paul Shaffer on piano, Leon Russell on organ, and Marty Stuart on mandolin. The album, Earl Scruggs and Friends, also featured artists such as John Fogerty, Elton John, Sting, Johnny Cash, Don Henley, Travis Tritt, and Billy Bob Thornton.

Tom Jones Funny thing is they recorded "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" on the Mercury label around 20 years before it was used on Bonnie and Clyde, getting mainstream exposure to this fantastic song.

Flatt. Has Always been my favorite Bluegrass singer even though he had an atypical voice for the genre, scruggs in my opinion was the best banjo picker ever! No need to mention the outstanding Work of the foggy mountain boys. Absolutely petfect
