I never knew Foggy Mountain Breakdown dated from 1949.
I just remember it as the car chase backdrop in Bonnie & Clyde. Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs “Times are Changin’” LP with that tune was really big in 1968.
When I go to visit kin in Tennessee it’s worth traveling on Sunday to listen to the wonderful bluegrass gospel music on the radio. Many of them talk about leaving this earth to go on singing and praising the Lord in Heaven.
Earl Scruggs isn’t dead, he’s just been called to play a new gig now.
I travel to western Virginia every year to work the last Sunday of September and the morning bluegrass gospel radio station is one of the big reasons why do.
