RE: Earl Scruggs 1924-2012 (in reply to Estevan)

A musical hero. He wasn't just a country or bluegrass player. He played with Dylan and Joan Baez. He didn't talk about the relationship of bluegrass to the folk-based protest songs of the sixties. He just showed up and played.

We'll miss you, Earl. Thanks.
