“Earl Scruggs had this thing that it wasn't just the technique or even the instrument. It was him. There was this soulful quality that came through that made you - if you're somebody like me who was, I guess, supposed to play the banjo, it made you stop in your tracks, and you couldn't do anything until you got done hearing him play, and then immediately you'd have to go try and find a banjo.” IfsTryingMadeDonePlayQualityInstrumentsTrackHearingTechniqueLike MeSoulfulBanjos Author:Earl Scruggs
“I mean if it wasn't for Earl Scruggs, guys like me wouldn't be doing what we're doing. I mean, he's changed so many people's lives, honestly. I was thinking about all the thousands of people that live in Nashville, like myself, that there's no reason a guy from New York would end up down there if it wasn't for the sound of Earl Scruggs' banjo coming over the airwaves and just changing my life.” PeopleIfsThinkingMeanEndsReasonGuySoundNew YorkChangedHonestlyLike MeNo ReasonNashvilleChanging My LifeBanjos Author:Earl Scruggs
