I don't go back as far as you with Earl, but he was a tremendous influence. I first saw Flatt & Scruggs on that old Hootenanny TV show. At the time, I was a young teen who was into the Kingston Trio and any other folk group that had a banjo. This opened up a whole new world of bluegrass and country music to me. Quickly I realized there was a whole lot more to this guitar, banjo, and singing thing then folk music was offering me. It was about at this time that I found WSM out of Nashville and listened on the AM skip as I still do today.

Earl Scruggs. The most important banjo player ever.
