Earl Scruggs dead at 88
« on: March 29, 2012, 10:09:16 AM »
He & Lester Flatt (from my home town, Sparta, TN) were quite a pair & made an indelible mark on country music....hell, on music in general.

This is one of my favorite bluegrass songs of all time:

Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs - Foggy Mountain Breakdown

They also played the theme song for the Beverly Hillbillies.
