For anyone out there thats into Bluegrass or folk music, Earl Scruggs passed away today at the age of 88..I copyed my style of Banjo picking after him, when I was 12. I got my first LP called foggy moutain banjo and learned to play from that record. Playing part of a tune, then moving the record backwards to learn each lick...He was the man who wrote Foggy Mt Breakdown for the movie bonnie and clyde.. He will be missed!!

Also sad today for me, Doug Dillard from the Dillards ( andy griffith show the darlins) is in ICU in Tenn and the outlook is grim..Bad day for five string banjo pickers..
Prayers go out to both and their familys..
