Definitely one of the best pickers. Been playing his stuff all morning. Rest in peace.

    Talk about a full life. He and Lester Flatt started playing with Bill Monroe is 1945. I have good records of his from the 80's.


    This is one of my favorite clips, Scruggs family and the Byrds

    That whole movie is up on YouTube. Such a cool guy, he was always willing to reach out to younger folks instead of being a staunch traditionalist like Monroe.

    This was very sad indeed. What a great musical mind.

    Thanks for that also (never seen it before). I have always loved the Byrds version of You Ain't Goin' Nowhere
