I'm a Chinese guy born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and I absolutely love and respect this man. Flatts and Scruggs are legends and I appreciate them so much. May this music live on forever.
You have great taste
@@vstrom9586 thank you so much! 🙏
Beautiful comment
Music has no boundaries

So talented I love it
black male born in Alabama lived in Baltimore city but man do i love me some bluegrass, mountain man blues is what i call it real SOUL music!
There's a show featuring the music of Scruggs @ South Carroll High School this Saturday, through the Carroll Arts Center. 😊
Oh yeah that’s where us Apalatchen found out the banjo clawhamer picking. Men building railroads picking songs from their own stories of Working Hard for singing The Blues is the only thing that you do to make your soul feel better. Love the way music is all connected to all of us. That’s the Human Race I am proud to be apart
Black Men working building the Rail Road is where us Hillbilly first heard the Banjo. Made from possum hide. Blue grass is in the heart of the men and woman picking & singing to make others feel better to survive that’s all. I just wish that more people would be as one race.
Human Race Sir
3 cords and the Truth is SOUL MUSIC
@@ChrisRichardson-jp3ul ,😊
Right on
I can never get tired of that. If Earl Scruggs can’t get your foot tapping you ether have no feet or your dead.
I'm a northerner born and raised in Wisconsin. I didn't grow up with this music but every time I hear Appalachian music it touches me so deeply and I get tears of joy in my eyes. Amazing...just amazing.
The people of Cambodia loves Foggy Mountain Breakdown.😁👍
Northwest NC Appalachian mountains is where I was born. My aunt taught me to clog and a love of bluegrass music when I was a child. We are from Irish and Scottish decent.
My parents live in West Jefferson, NC.
It's beautiful up there.
@@dwellspompano I was born in Jefferson. We lived in Warrensville until I was 8 years old. We moved to the Hickory area. My family comes from there and some still live there.
I'm from boone, you?
@@sspragu31 Originally Warrensville outside of West Jefferson, now near Hickory
Recently discovered our family roots are from Scottish Irish via Tennessee, Texas n out to the left coast.🤠🤚
I had the pleasure of meeting Lester and Earl years ago and Earl was the most humble, polite and talented man I have ever known. Heaven welcomed him with open arms.
2024 here and that was so uplifting. Man those legends are just that legends. God bless them.
Never will another group of such talented pickers be on stage together again. I feel blessed to be able to watch this as it was before my time.
I have this recurring dream that im in this banjo line. Earl gives me the nod and foggy mountain breakdown rolls off my banjo like ive played my whole life for this one moment…
That's a cool dream.
Nice dream
Then your string snaps and you realize you're not wearing pants
Awesome dream!
LoL well guess you ought to start playing the banjo! 😁
Other music may leave the mind, Bluegrass never leaves the soul.
Man, that’s the longest applause ever recorded 😹😹😹
..and the longest line of banjo players waiting for their turn.
Saw old Earl a couple of times.Once in particular my friend was dead, passed out.But when Earl stepped into Foggy Mtn., It was like the Easter story right in front of me
where you from you tell a funny story like that. I remember working a mine in Mt ida ,arkansas and the cousins and brothers there just kept me in stitches with stories like that.
I sit with tears as I listen and reminisce about my sweet Daddy. Earl Scruggs was one of his favorites. Daddy’s in heaven for 10 years now and hope he’s getting front row seats with Earl. I’m a western NC gal too and grew up on bluegrass❤
31 year old male from the UK here, recently discovered the joys of listening to bluegrass, listening to these guys shred the banjo gives me crazy goosebumps
I'd like to welcome you all😏👍
Earl deserved every second of that applause. He was fabulous
Hell yes
I find it so amazing that not only someone could come up with a piece of music so iconic that every person who plays a particular instrument knows it but it can be played and played and played without ever getting annoying.
I played util I was 65 and had a stroke. Became a strummed not a picker😢 almost like dying,but I didnt!
@@garyhall704 that sucks so bad. im sorry that had to happen to you
I could watch 100 people come up and pick that out.
Hi from Japan. I’ve been listening and watching the CZcams long tome . May be more than 20 years though I feel more than 100. Pretty important CZcams to me. Thank you so much . I appreciate you all so much. Thank you America ❣
@@wahdurcithanks from France too 😂 music from USA is just amazing
@@wahdurci Wow! Let’s see…. I like to listen 80s also church music too. Sometimes John Wayne movie “the cow boys” main title! Oh well . I can’t stop to tell you what I like music …… thank you anyhow ! No Music No Life! Especially the USA music!
I am an American that used to lived in Japan for many years. I appreciate you guys a lot too. Thank you!

@@lanesaarloos281 I don’t understand at all . Sorry.
35 yr old from New Zealand here. I recently bought a banjo and have been learning. God dam I love this music
Same man
Best of luck.🪕🇦🇺💖💖💖
..lot to love when you ear Flatt or Skrugs...
Do it and dont ever let go!!!!
I bought one last week. I’m on lesson 5 right now on 30 lesson beginner deal. The more I learn the gunner it gets.
You got goose bumps listening to this. Don’t even try to lie.
My God what a lineup of bluegrass talent-!!!!
Musical talent. This is missing from a lot of today's music.
Lester and Earl. The real Foggy mountain boys !!!
Amen never be another
Man im from the streets of nyc grew up wirh doo wop but i love bluegrass with a passion thank u flatt and scruggs and alluson krauss for keeping it alive !
This Bluegrass Country Soul is a rare treat!
Holy smokes, give those banjos a drink! That was amazing! 🇦🇺🪕❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is what the younger generation is missing out on on! Pure talent all around. Damn.
Still one of the most underrated instrument ever. It'd be nice to see it utilized more.
This gives me chills. Dear Lord, I miss my Daddy, who loved this music.
But I don't wish him back here
Amen sister Heaven is better than the Hell we are living in
We create all our own Reality. This is defined by the "Universal Law of Attraction" and it is Absolute.
This is what Yeshua/Jesus was teaching, the foundation of his teachings.
Release the Fear Based Ideologies that are so Fostered by Media's and Embrace the Truths, the Positive.
When we Ask, it is Given. No 2nd request 8s needed.
We merely must Know, the Higher Octave of Believe, and when we Know/Believe, we Receive "That's the Mustard Seed"!
Quantum Physics Science is Validating what was/is deemed "myth".
We must Awaken to our Real Power, that given for Our Creating of the Positive, the Desires, the Dreams.
... and do so Knowing "* am worthy", for we all are extensions of God's Source Energy - ie: Our Souls, and that is what our Eternal is, only the Vessel expires.
Don't relay on the opinions of others, go to the Resources and gather your own understanding.
(Fear, Judging, Prejudices, Hate, Anger ... all attract like Energies, negative experiences.)
Love, Joy, Laughter, Optimism, Knowing, Harmony, Higher Mind Thoughts, all attract like Energies: Our Desires
Focus on the Positive, the Desires.
(Turn away from negative thoughts, fears, and Lackings.)
It is Our Choice to "live in fears" or Break Through and emerge as Jesus Taught, being in Harmony, Creating Harmony, and Knowing far greater our true self, Higher Self, our Soul self, the You in You. Be in Your Positive ...
Peace be with You Always ...
Bless your ❤
I’m from North Alabama so of course I can’t get enough of the banjo 🪕
Oh yeah Alabama is known for the banjo don't you know...
There are masters that create music and deserve complete respect.
Our country was in a much better place back then. God blessed all of these men with a unique ability.
AMEN to that
Aside from all the intense racism and misogyny..... it was great for white dudes...
Pray for the USA :)
Our country was still in Vietnam back then, and the USA wasn't a "better place back then" unless you were a heterosexual Protestant Christian white man. Everyone else was stuck in an era with lingering institutional racism, sexism, homophobia, and religious prejudice. You can keep all that.
It isn’t often a person becomes a legend in their own time
This man remember where he come from and hasn’t forgotten true to home and family don’t see this today 😊
There is no music like the love of mountain music
Who, in their ever loving mind could ever downvote such a beautiful piece of music and such incredible players?
I look around myself today and sadly I don't see any giants in the music industry that can even hold a candle to legends such as these.
I'm blessed to just be alive in the same time as these men.
Check out billy strings !
@@KY.502 I have and you're right.....I forgot....there are some Gems currently making new music....maybe you know Coltor Wall?
@@DiamondCutter423 also, lost dog street band, The Dead South, Whiskey Myers there is some true gems out there but your not going to find them on any top 20s
Look around further and you will find such as Noam Pikelny, Mike Munford, Catherine Bowness, Tony Trischka, Jens Kruger, Ryan Cavanaugh, and of course, Bela Fleck (just for starters). The musicians in this video helped lay the foundations for the large crop of brilliantly talented musicians playing bluegrass today; you just have to look for them (on CZcams, or Google, or Facebook), since they won't show up on AM radio or CMT.
Amen to that brother@@RickRiman
I come back to this video every once and a while and boy it never gets old
Well that’ll put a smile on your face.
Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure.
I could listen to this forever.
One of North Carolina's greatest artists.
PADDLE FASTER I HEAR BANJO MUSIC
RIP Bill Emerson, my neighbor from down the street growing up in Northern Virginia
Growing up in the D.C. suburbs during the '70's I was exposed to a lot of country music by my dad but I didn't really get it until I saw the Seldom Scene at High Point High in 1979. After that, I was hooked. I consider myself blessed to have been here, in D.C., at that time. WAMU, The Seldom Scene, The Country Gentlemen, The Johnson Mountain Boys and of course Country Current. My buddy's dad was good friends with Eddie Adcock and he knew and introduced me to many of these guys. I remember Bill Emerson as really tall and a perfect gentleman. I still remember the free concerts at the Capitol. So sad when we lost him. The finale of a very special era in local bluegrass music.
Love the sound of a banjo
I love the sound of a banjo too! My husband doesn’t care for it but I love it. I just had a smile on my face throughout this whole video.
I was born in the city and raised in the city but make no mistake I am a country boy at heart and I will always be @!!!
this is the type of thing that gives me hope for humankind. :)
If your foot ain't tapping while this is going on, damn well better check your pulse to see if you's alive!
WOW!!! This is an AMAZING piece of footage! I can't lie, I got goosebumps!!!
My grandfather and his brother my uncle Paul were the Springer brothers I grew up with the best bluegrass ever met earl several times didn't know as a kid how important he was. I'm 63 now and miss them all
Wow was he a cool guy ? I bet he was
JEEBUS!! I was born,raised, and still live in a big city up north.
But love Bluegrass musicc.
And I love my fellow Children of GOD. MAY BIG BOSS ,bless us all.
On occasion I will listen to what I call mountain music, Ive come to learn to really appreciate it after I was fortunate and blessed enough to actually see Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt play live at my school, Western Carolina University many years ago. And if your foot ain't tapping, brother you are not of this earth anymore! 😁
An absolutely brilliant set of talented and exhilarating musicians.Cheers.Roly🇬🇧.
# 1 Earl Scruggs !
Nothing but pure talent on that stage.
Humble man, I'm from Argentina and I love this music 🇦🇷
Unbelievably Excellent Picking!!! Just glad it was captured for all to enjoy.
Earl is/was fantastic
Still have my dads old banjo, he was in some bluegrass bands as a kid and teen, he played upright bass, but he also played rythem guitar and banjo, he had bands my whole life, country and some bluegrass, & clasic rock , as a kid I used to set up and break down their equipment at bars every weekend , sitting at the bar sneaking beers and crown shots , I miss that alot.
I love playing the banjo. I don't even care for bluegrass music. I like country music, but old time country. Think Carter family stuff. But playing the banjo satisfies my soul for some reason.
Oh God!!! I recognized all but 3 or 4 of them on sight... I've actually become my father. Man, that makes me feel old, because most of them were kids back then.
England here, I heard this year's ago, it still makes me smile 😃
they all seem so happy to be there
When this Man says "Thank you" I'm pretty sure he means it, then I start to get misty-eyed, but then he busts out and...gosh darn...I'm happy.
It warms my 💜❤️ to see men learning and surpassing there idol . You see earl Scruggs and you seen something kids yeeee haaww
wow! what a group! 2 comedians who play...tommy smothers and that wild and crazy guy steve martin.
I saw the Earl Scruggs Review during the '70s. I was going to Memphis State University {merged with another college since) My friends took me to a small bar, where they were playing. I said to my dorm friends, "I have never heard anything this fantastic before, in my life". (From Long Island, NY). They answered, "Yes you have, they did the Beverly Hillbillies, TV show theme song". I am presently reading about The Hatfields vs The McCoys Family Feud. ☑ it out!
50 yrs later. Still makes me think of. Bonnie and Clyde
I am speechless.. Thank you!
This absolute blow away stuff....can't take my eyes off these boys....take me home...
A banjo player I knew holds a special place in my ❤
The best music made and played in the Appachilan mountains I love it !!
So beautiful. All of it.
Doesn't get any better than that. Awesome playing.
And more was quite an understatement!
Thank you Mr Earl Scruggs for your musical talent and for composing such great pieces as this!
Our uncle Jake was married to aunt Mary on Kendall side he played the banjo every day of grim enjoying him enjoying playing for us too amazingly I love the sounds of the banjo and steel guitar😊 just sharing cool thank you
HEE! HAW!! DANG! That was great! Lester Flatt, along with Earl Scruggs were fantastic back in the day! First time I heard Foggy Mountain Breakdown was in the movie, 'Bonnie & Clyde' when I was in high school back in the '60s. It's been one of my favorite instrumentals ever since.
The banjo was created by enslaved Africans and their descendants in the Caribbean and colonial North America. Here, they maintained and perpetuated the tradition within a complex system of slave-labor camps, plantations, and in a variety of rural and urban settings. Amazing how many Americans don't know this.
Fake information
@@user-xo4rx8ov5o Check it out yourself, or are you a MAGA? LOL!
@@user-xo4rx8ov5o You mean fake as in: Traitor Trump saying he lost the election is fake info? Like I said, look it up yourself. You can't believe most of what you hear on right wing nut propaganda radio.
Nothing but ❤️🔥 for all y'all
This makes me feel connected to my culture and heritage when I listen to this. Beautiful
Im Mexican and I love bluegrass, the banjo And the fiddle.
Yee-Ha!
The old man comes for all of us in our time.
But I leave behind the knowledge that the Service I spent so much of my life in will still go on. So long as there is a man to take up the duty we old timers laid down the Army, America, still lives!!!!
Our lives were well lived!
So many greats and so many touches on a really fine song..
I just can’t get enough of this video❤
That's respect!!!
What a time to be alive!!
This is great really enjoyed it driving down the turnpike 4:30 in a he morning
which turnpike
There is no way you can drive the speed limit while listening to this song!
Great rendition of ''Foggy Mountain Breakdown'' with Earl Scruggs & Banjo players at the Camp Springs Bluegrass Festival on September 4,1971. ''Bluegrass Country Soul'' movie released July 26,1972.
Wow! How have I never seen this before? Thank you for sharing.
...i love this!!!!......
Thanks Earl and you blokes, Loved it!
You don't get more American than Bluegrass music. As original as jazz.
Thanks Earl! You are responsible for the fact that there are hundreds of banjo players and many other bluegrass musicians in our small country. Greetings to everyone from Czechia, Europe
2024 and still gives me goosebumps hearing them beautiful banjos
Yes play those banjos 😮😊❤
I was born August 18th 1972 Thank you for the video brother ! ☺♥
One of the finest musicians ever. It's nice to see him get so much love.
This is a tremedious amount of great banjo music for a german-austrian listener. Phantastic
