HIS name is Earl Scruggs (note the "s"). For many years, HE picked the world's greatest Bluegrass banjo with Lester Flatt on guitar and vocals. Their band (now legendary) was known as "Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys." Their sponsor for much of that time on radio WSM, Nashville was Martha White Mills. @i(Foggy Mountain Breakdown) was HIS first (I think) commercially-recorded composition, and the band's trademark song. HE now plays more progressive stuff with his sons, collectively known as the Earl Scruggs Revue. As a banjo purist, I can't recommend HIM enough :-) -- Human: Bob Sutterfield Facilities Management Division The Ohio State University Instruction & Research Computer Center Workplace: Ohio Cooperative Extension Service, Computer Management Group OCES VAX System Manager/Programmer (VMS) Mail: ...cbosgd!osu-eddie!sutter.UUCP or: sutter@ohio-state.CSNET MaBell: (614) 422 - 9034
