Lordy, cain't y'all keep yore pickers strate?

HIS name is Earl Scruggs (note the "s").  For many years, HE picked the
world's greatest Bluegrass banjo with Lester Flatt on guitar and vocals.
Their band (now legendary) was known as "Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs and
the Foggy Mountain Boys."  Their sponsor for much of that time on radio WSM,
Nashville was Martha White Mills.  @i(Foggy Mountain Breakdown) was HIS
first (I think) commercially-recorded composition, and the band's trademark
song.  HE now plays more progressive stuff with his sons, collectively known
as the Earl Scruggs Revue.

As a banjo purist, I can't recommend HIM enough :-)
