so happy to see this, thank you. could you pleeeease enable embedding?

[allinaday]

Thank you for your compliment. I am happy to embed but my problem is that I do not just want the clip taken, I am trying to sell my documentary using this clip. So you have got to attach the clip to someone's ability to purchase the entire film. As an independent filmmaker, I struggle to use the Internet for more than just entertainment purposes. I am sure you understand.

@allinaday David, I know there's a lot of talk about how Earl's banjo sound changed through the years. When you heard this banjo like it is in your videos..Was the sound just like it sounds on Earl's recordings...say late 50's through late 60's? His banjo is nothing like this now for many different reasons, but ME personally, I like the sound his banjo had when it was like THIS video...The mahogany neck on his Granada banjo really made the sound amazing. Now it has a maple neck on it. SO????

[allinaday]

@bigmrclean - thank you for your question. He analog recording equipment we used was highly accurate and indeed Earl sounded just like he does on the video.

it is so wonderful to see this clip. Earl Scruggs was and is such an inspiration to all musicians. At a time when the old and the young were really suspicious of each other (mostly because of pot and the vietnam war) Earl extended his hand to the young folks and acknowledged that they were part of the tradition of music too. Like Johnny Cash, he is a real American treasure.

Clarence White, a young Earl. Boy, those were the glory days and I still remember them well.
