What a fine player! What a sad day. He was part of a duo and his partner was Lester Flatts. Don't know if he is still around. They played bluegrass and country when country was country and not rock in disguise.
I saw and heard them play in St. Louis when I was a boy.
Mr. Scurggs was a great player. Probably one of the best. He starred in a duo with Lester Flatt. I remember seeing them in concert and hearing their records played in my home as a boy. They played bluegrass and country when country was country and not rock and roll with a twang in disguise.
