Earl Scruggs has died

[kann]

Don't know if there are any bluegrass/banjo fans here, but Scruggs was a banjo legend. His name is synonymous with the instrument. I didn't realize he was 88 years old. I knew he was up there, though.

Amazing banjo player. The music world lost another great.

That's too bad. They just don't make 'em like they used to.

RIP Earl.

Thanks for posting that. I probably watched that a hundred times when I first started playing banjo. Not just for the awesomeness of Earl Scruggs, but, honestly... because I had no idea that Steve Martin was such an accomplished banjo player, as well!
