Bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs died today. He was 88.

"Now it's time to say goodbye to Earl from all his friends, he would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in. You're all invited back next week to this place right here, to drink a toast and play a song and maybe shed a tear."

For those that don't know along with his long time singing/playing partner Lester Flat, they wrote and sand the theme to the "Beverly Hillbillies", unfortunately for them, their most noted work.

Insightful article about Scruggs by Steve Martin in The New Yorker. Worth a quick read if you're at all curious about why he was so important — in part, super-fast picking that was also melodic, something he invented, completely changing banjo playing — and you can listen to the song at the end of the article, Flatt and Scruggs playing Foggy Mountain Breakdown. Truly amazing.
