No need to stand chagrined, Art. Jenkins was the man. I seem to remember hearing Jenkins with Pappy Sherrill at the UofC Folk Festival a very long time ago. What Jankins played wasn't exactly Scruggs style but it was right up in there.

It seems to me I've read that Monroe first heard Jenkins play when he and Charlie were on tour. I can't put my hands on any academic source for that information right now so the story may be apocryphal.
