Earl left a might scratch on the earth. Not bad for a country boy from Flint Hill, N.C.

I don’t understand how ANY human being can play that instrument, but a top-notch banjo picker literally defies the Laws of Physics.

RIP Mr. Scruggs.

When they write about the United States 1000 years from now, they will have to include a chapter about Earl Scruggs and Bluegrass. Truly America.

RIP Sir.

We are poorer for his loss and heaven is richer for his gain.

I had to watch Flatt and Scruggs every Saturday afternoon when I was a kid. Nashville in the 50’s. Or was it the 60’s, I forget. I didn’t really appreciate it until many years later.

Our loss is Heaven’s gain...reckon the grass just got a little bluer.

Rest in peace Mr Scruggs.

I hope by now everyone has been here and listened to this twice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQIJuu3N5EY

If a man is known by the company he keeps, Earl Scruggs was something truly special. I think every musician with calloused fingertips would be proud to sit in with him.

RIP Mr. Scruggs and thank you.

[JimSEA]

I am sorry to hear that. RIP
