The music world will not be the same. Lester Flat and Earl Scruggs set a standard of their own. The played with Bill Monroe and then made their own way as well.

The tones of their music will be missed.

I am an old rocker who grew up on country music. The two guys crossed many boundaries and Earl had no problem playing with a real musician of any type. But he was respected by anyone who saw or heard him play, regardless of their instrument. Earl Scruggs was simply a master of his craft and a true master musician.
