I'm a few days behind on the digest but wanted to add to the comments about the 
great Earl Scruggs.  I was luck enough to see him in concert about 6 years 
ago.  Even in his 80's he hadn't lost a thing.  About a year after that, my 
wife and I took a 5 day trip to Nashville.  While touring the Country Music 
Hall of Fame, they had one whole room set aside as a tribute to Earl Scruggs.  
There was a quote on the wall from another great banjo picker named Bella Fleck 
that I have always remembered, he said, "No matter what any of the rest of us 
do, we're all just trying to be like Earl".  To me that was quite a tribute.

P.S.  My favorite Earl Scruggs quote from one of his appearances on The Beverly 
Hillbillies when Lester Flatt was talking about Granny's fine vittals, "Me too, 
Lester, me too".  I use that one quite often.
