Hi Zeldafoo9. You might not have heard of Earl Scruggs, but you sure can pick out a talented banjo player. Awesome that you noticed. Most of us pickers were influenced by Earl's playing. He developed the style played in bluegrass music today and it's named after him, "Scrugg's Style". We heard it for the first time and went crazy. Most banjo players remain crazy, but what a way to go. :o) Pick up a banjo and join us. It's really fun.

I believe Lester Flatt could sing about a dog getting run over by a truck and I'd dig it.

Dear children this is what the non-electric version of "guitar hero" looks like.(saucy southern bells not included)I'd pay top dollar for a time machine to go backthere and take one of those honeys in the background to the drive-in in a 50's Crown Vic convertible(pint of Jim Beam included)

Nobody's perfect man! Giants as Lester and Earl, who don't like they?
