Stupid Guest Tricks

Bluegrass Banjo legend Earl Scruggs, dead at 88.

Obituary and article from the New Yorker by Steve Martin

A wonderful performance of Foggy Mountain Breakdown, with friends (see who all you can recognize.)

Heard about this on the radio yesterday. :(

Shame. Heard about it this morning on the radio. Instead of the usual "nearly impossible trivia" contest this morning they instead gave a prize to the first person who called in that could sing the first four lines of the Beverly Hillbillies theme.

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jeb,
Poor mountaineer barely kept his Family fed,
and then one day he was shootin' at some food,
and up from the ground come a bubblin' crude...
oil,that is...Black Gold...Texas Tea.....

Well the first thing ya know,ol' Jeb's a millionaire,
Kinfolk say,Jeb, Move away from there!
They said Californny is the place ya oughtta be,
so they loaded up their truck,and they moved to Beverly...
Hills, that is...swimming pools ...and Movie Stars....

all that from memory...I watched waaaaaay too much TV! ;)

You and me both, DM, you and me both.

I always thought it was Jed!?!?

Have I been wrong all these years?

It is Jed.
