Our boys will be grieving tonight.
Our whole family is grieving. Earl is an old friend. We played many a Bluegrass festival with him and Lester. Lower Forty Grass fronted for The Earl Scruggs Review at Old Miss for a huge concert, as I recall it was about 78. It was after Earl started playing with his sons. That was a great night because the LF brought down the house and closed with Dixie and a huge Rebel flag waved by my little boy, who was 9 at the time. We've now lost Lester Flatt, Bill Monroe, Charlie Waller, Don Reno and many more. All friends and fellow travelers back in the day. My world is shrinking. May God bless Earl's family with comfort and peace.
