This is part 3 of the celebration of Earl Scruggs' 100th birthday.
In this episode we're talking about Earl's influence on the younger generation of players and also celebrating his wonderful guitar playing.
You'll hear from:
- Trey Hensley, on Earl being his main influence on the guitar, as well as getting to meet and play with Earl
- Kyle Tuttle, on why no banjo record is complete without a tip of the hat to Earl Scruggs and why Earl is perhaps one of the most imitated musicians in history
- Willow Osborne, on Earl's influence on her as a very young picker and how that influence is still there in the young players she sees today
If you haven't checked out Part 1 (Tony Trischka, Kristin Scott Benson and Alan Munde) or Part 2 (Jerry Douglas, Alison Brown and Tim O'Brien), go and listen to those too!
Happy picking.
Matt
