I saw the Earl Scruggs Review back in about 1978. It was a good show.
Funny that Louise Scruggs almost nixed the recording her husband became most famous for.
Believe it or not someone actually has him in the Howie Carr Show's Death Pool.
God bless the Scruggs family at their loss. Flatt and Scruggs are a part of blue grass history in a great part do to this woman.
Will plunk something on my Washburn five string in memory.
Does this mean we can have a state funeral, complete with Jimmy Carter hurling insults at the President?
I thought Earl Scruggs passed away a few years ago. What I wouldn't give to learn from him one-on-one. I would almost give my right arm, but that would be self-defeating when playing the banjo.
Condolences to the Scruggs family. Earl is a true revolutionary in music. Louise helped bring his music to the people.
That is why a wife should be involved in the logistics, but not in the artistic side. It also shows how a wife who is supportive of her husband will enable him to excel beyond his and her wildest dreams.
Greatly exaggerated.
On her way to Hillbilly Heaven. I really like that song, havent heard it lately. Tex Ritter sang it I think.
Man!! those were the days when we had real Country music.
I just realized this is a month old. I posted it mistakenly thinking it was current news. Feel free to delete this 'old news' thread.
Mrs. Scruggs passed away on February 1, 2006.
Yep. I'm a fool.
She died ONE MONTH AGO on February 3. What is with you?
no way! cool, somebody actually won that thing?
Rest in peace Louise. Condolences to Earle.
Our local "Classic country" radio station, was given over to the dark side just before the '04 elections. It is now home to Err Amerika. I loved that station, it played work every day, all day. I had to switch to conservative talk radio now, I am better informed, but not as happy during work.
Whats even worse if you get Sirius you help support Howard Stern.
