oh wow, thats a real shame. The man was truly a master of his instrument. Flatt and Scruggs is actually what got me to appreciate bluegrass music.

Oh man. Very sorry to hear this.

How many of the first generation bluegrass pickers are now left? Ralph Stanley is the only one I can think of.

As someone that remembers the first sounds from a living room radio about 1951-52, he is part of those memories. A BIG part of those memories. Now I sit here with some of those original 78s as part of my collection with 2 Zenith record players under restoration so that I can play back those memories. RIP Earl Scruggs

The Ballad of the Beverly Hillbillies is how I first heard of Flatt & Scruggs, & I have one of their albums with that song. Those guys were both very talented, for sure. R.I.P. Earl. :sigh:
