I agree Janie......and my thanks as well Becky.

I remember a discussion we had here 10 years or so back about Bluegrass. Basically we talked about the beginnings of various musical forms. While it is very hard to come up with a moment in time when jazz or rock or even classical or whatever began, with Bluegrass it began the first time Earl Scruggs played with Bill Monroe. Bill Monroe had the style already but the true trademark of the genre came with Earl Scruggs.

Thanks Earl.......
