Yes that's my banjo. Yes I was young and regretfully not the best fiddler. BUT He is my mentor and he asked me to play... he's been there for me when everyone else walked out. So instead of being so hateful.... How bout thinking how great it is that Earl would support someone less fortunate.
Who is that gal playing the fiddle?? There is a good chance that Paul Warren might come back and play again... that gal could in fact "Raise The Dead".:):):)
i was about 5 feet off the stage right here when he was playing this...i had just got off stage playing with mike cleveland.. it was a great honor to meet earl this night.

See Bela Fleck's documentary ' throw your heart down; which traces the banjo back to Africa ... bluegrass is an amalgamation of both African and Celtic music ... so keep the race and stereotype out of this beautiful art form ... From an malaysian Indian .. FYI i prob have the only copy of the BANJOMAN soundtrack in the country ... MUST LISTEN
Fiddle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He plays the Fiddle!!!!!!!!!!! although i suppose you can do better than him. in fact, why don't you make your own video and post it on youtube for us
She' s a fiddle player and she's pretty darn good. Good enough to share the stage with one of the original Blue Grass Boys and an undisputed legend. But to each his or her own.
No one else will ever be able to play this song like him!!! Long live the Earl of Scruggs!!!

At nearly 84, Earl sounds more than "OK." And he's still got new ideas. Agreed about the fiddling (though it's better than I can do).

Easy answer: He's going natural now. But -- did he get contacts? No glasses. His picking is absolutely incredible here. Who is the band?
