I had a hard edged, really loud acid rock band called Country
Weather that the hippies at Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco booked
as the opening act for Flatt & Scruggs back in 1968. (See, we had
the word "country" in our name, so....) The dressing room was small
and packed with pot smoking hippies and the Flatt & Scruggs band in
their Nudie-cum-bluegrass outfits. Lester Flatt looked like he
wanted to kill somebody, preferably someone with hair that went past
their collar. He was openly antagonistic. Earl Scruggs, on the
other hand, was relaxed, convivial, and openly happy at the
attention and sincere enjoyment of their great bluegrass by this
odd-looking audience. He saw a crowd of people who loved music;
Flatt saw a crowd of hippie scum. They broke up the following year.
R.I.P., Earl. You shredded, and you were really polite and
encouraging to me, a 19-year old long hair who was absolutely in awe
of your picking.
