  • The late Earl Scruggs was the definitive bluegrass banjo player of the 20th century. From his distinctive three finger roll technique to influential years with Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys, Flatt & Scruggs, and later the Earl Scruggs Revue. He's also written famous tunes like “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” and “Flint Hill Special.” Scruggs had a long journey from his birthplace in Flint Hill, North Carolina, where he worked in the textile mills to his arrival in 1945 at the Grand Ole Opry's Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville. It's at that venerable church of country music that Earl and his sons, Gary and Randy, recorded a retrospective concert in 2008. We began with Earl's best family memory at Ryman: seeing a young woman who locked eyes with him from the audience. She would become Earl's wife and manager of many years: the late Louise Scruggs.
