    I'm a Chinese guy born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and I absolutely love and respect this man. Flatts and Scruggs are legends and I appreciate them so much. May this music live on forever.

    I can never get tired of that. If Earl Scruggs can’t get your foot tapping you ether have no feet or your dead.

    I have this recurring dream that im in this banjo line. Earl gives me the nod and foggy mountain breakdown rolls off my banjo like ive played my whole life for this one moment…
  • I'm a northerner born and raised in Wisconsin. I didn't grow up with this music but every time I hear Appalachian music it touches me so deeply and I get tears of joy in my eyes. Amazing...just amazing.

    Northwest NC Appalachian mountains is where I was born. My aunt taught me to clog and a love of bluegrass music when I was a child. We are from Irish and Scottish decent.

    I find it so amazing that not only someone could come up with a piece of music so iconic that every person who plays a particular instrument knows it but it can be played and played and played without ever getting annoying.
  • I had the pleasure of meeting Lester and Earl years ago and Earl was the most humble, polite and talented man I have ever known. Heaven welcomed him with open arms.

    Saw old Earl a couple of times.Once in particular my friend was dead, passed out.But when Earl stepped into Foggy Mtn., It was like the Easter story right in front of me

    Other music may leave the mind, Bluegrass never leaves the soul.

  • @mathews749
    Never will another group of such talented pickers be on stage together again. I feel blessed to be able to watch this as it was before my time.

    I sit with tears as I listen and reminisce about my sweet Daddy. Earl Scruggs was one of his favorites. Daddy’s in heaven for 10 years now and hope he’s getting front row seats with Earl. I’m a western NC gal too and grew up on bluegrass❤
