We lost a legend today. Earl Scruggs died today at the age of 88. Once known as “the boy who made the banjo talk”, he mastered the three-finger picking style now simply called Scruggs-style. Not limited to strictly bluegrass, he crossed over into multiple genres playing with pop, jazz and international artists. No doubt we’ll be hearing a lot of Foggy Mountain Breakdown and The Ballad of Jed Clampett over the next few days.

When I’m gone, don’t bury me deep/
Just set the gin by my head and feet/
When I’m dead don’t you bury me at all/
Just pickle my bones in alcohol.
