he's always wore his pants that way due to a car wreck they had back in the day, ended up with a broken hip that changed his stature and posture somewhat, plus he's not a large tall fellow anyway, but he is my banjo hero, there is no other. i can tell his picking in any crowd of banjo pickers.
earl scruggs is 2 years younger than my mom. She turned 88 this year, 2010. He looks a lot more active than her, and plays the banjo better too LOL. Of course, my mom likes the six fat dutchmen for dancing, but she don't do that anymore either.
thx for posting this vid I am from lincolnton and seein the ppl of your town again brought back tons of memories of the kind hearted folks that live there .I wish that i had never moved. I will most surely have to return some day now. thx again for showing me what i had forgotten.

Thanks for posting this video. He is amazing. I was lucky enough to see him live in March, and he was still sounding great.

This is one of the great things about bluegrass, they get the youngins' up there with a living legend.
It's about getting the next gen ready to take over.

Man is Earl is the best, but in a few years, I think his pants are going to hand higher than his banjo.
