Earl Scruggs was killer, real world class picker there.


And nostalgia aside, we've always had plasticized pop-twits for as long as people realized they could make money off recorded music. Great music may take a little digging (or we get lucky when the occasional great artist or band sneaks through the pop-filter), but it is out there. Every generation has great music and loads of audio turds. Thats the great thing about it, lots to choose from. Lots of great pickers remain too.

But Earl Scruggs will be missed.
