Legendary bluegrass banjo player. Passed away at 88, on Wednesday.

Scruggs was probably best known for performing alongside Lester Flatt with the Foggy Mountain Boys. Among their biggest songs were “Foggy Mountain Breakdown“, which was used in the 1967 film “Bonnie and Clyde”, and “The Ballad of Jed Clampett“, the theme song from the classic TV series The Beverly Hillbillies.

"Foggy Mountain Breakdown" is an excellent trigger. RIP

Steve Martin introduces the rest of them at the end.

LOL! I like some blue grass, in small doses. Alison Krauss is kind of interesting.
