Earl Scruggs - Randy Lynn Rag

[pessia61]

"That's real fine" Lester says. What an understatement. They were the best.

[sponyge]

The song Randy Lynn Rag was named after Randy Lynn Scruggs who is one of Earl Scruggs' sons.

@sponyge Thanks Spony

Damn It... better than Buckethead...

[BeadStallcup]

Lighthearted and sincere! These very fine muscians are just having a lot of fun doing what they do so well. So-called country music entertainers today have much to learn from the Foggy Mountain Boys!

Notice how Earl grins when Josh takes the second part of his solo. Earl Never smiles...but he did then...

I like how he tunes it on the fly.

[Gatorrock787]

@bigjared420 Those are special "tuners" that Earl developed that de-tune and re-tune the string to achieve a bend effect. Many banjos come with those as standard equipment now, I believe.

@Gatorrock787

Thanks. My knowledge of banjos is mostly limited to thinking they sound cool.
