Friday Music

This famous bluegrass instrumental written by Earl Scruggs in 1949 and was recorded by Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys.  It's known for its fast-paced banjo picking and is widely considered a classic of American roots music.  I posted on this song earlier in February and somehow it popped-up in my YouTube channel feed.  So it's back 

This song helped define the sound of modern bluegrass. Its technical banjo style inspired countless musicians and is often used in banjo competitions and bluegrass jams.

Culturally it was featured prominently in the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, which reignited interest in bluegrass music.
