I've really been on a bluegrass kick the last several months, but never listened to Earl. I'll be creating an internet radio station a little later.

Old Crow Medicine Show is my current favorite, and I'm branching out more and more.

Huge loss in the bluegrass community. I'm sure there will be plenty of moments of silence up in the mountains where the music still lives on. RIP Earl.

Sad day. I grew up listening to Blue Grass. I haven't missed a MerleFest yet.

You forget his most famous piece of music!

Earl and Lester had many apperances on the show over the years.

They also had a big feud and didn't speak to each other for years.

I have maintained for year that if Doctors piped in Bluegrass music instead of Muzac, people would feel much better and not be sick so often!

(Maybe that should be part of Obama's Health plan! Listen to Bluegrass at least 30 minutes every day! :lol: )

RIP Earl!

In his early years, Steve Martin used a banjo as part of his act.

Here he is with Earl on Lettermen.

RIP Earl!

R.I.P. Earl. If I get to heaven and there is no Bluegrass Music or Horses I'm at the wrong address.

Everytime I hear Foggy Mt Breakdown, I feel like I'm in a 40 Ford, drivin like a bat out of Hell down the back roads of North Carolina with a load of shine and the Sheriff on my tail! :D

Gotta love this as well.

Been listening to this station I created most of the morning. I'll definitely be purchasing some of his music this evening.

RIP Earl
