Earl Scruggs: update
Earl Scruggs (81), father of bluegrass banjo, is reported to be well recovered from the effects of his fall from the stage at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center on 26 November, where he had finished his set at the 36th Annual South Carolina State Bluegrass Festival. Earl sustained a cut over his eye which required twelve stitches. An account of the original incident, by Paul Nelson in the local Sun News, is on the web at this link.

Earl rules.
Earl's injury, fortunately, is only cosmetic - lucky he didn't break anything. Phew. The gospel of Earl - the new Scruggs book (2005) - the new testament of the 5-string - is showing folks the way to bluegrass banjo heaven. Only yesterday I was showing an eager beginner "Shucking the Corn", and a huge smile came over his face. Peace. Vaya con Earl!
