January 6th 2024 would have been Earl Scruggs’ 100th birthday.
I’m putting together a very special set of episodes to celebrate. As part of them I spoke to Jerry Douglas, who’s organising a spectacular night of music at The Ryman on Earl’s birthday to mark the occasion.
This is a taster taken from a much longer chat I had with Jerry. We talked about putting the show together and why he wants to celebrate Earl. The full interview will be released in a couple of weeks, alongside lots of other guests sharing their memories of Earl and his music.
