RIP, Earl. Another passing of a truly fine artist.

He had a pretty good innings. I'd take 88 if it was offered.

He will be missed...

IMO, one of the best recordings he made with Lester was "Live at Vanderbilt University" circa 1964. That was the album that really tuned me in to bluegrass. His passing is a sad day for bluegrass music lovers everywhere. :cry:

I'm headed to a bluegrass concert today... "Bearfoot", performing in their "hometown" of Talkeetna, Alaska.

That sounds interesting Chris. I might just have to press the buy button on "American Story".
