EARL SCRUGGS

I don't think you'll ever get enough picking.

I worked with a guy, I can't think of his name, him and his wife, and one of them had a saxophone and the other played drums. It wasn't a regular job but I did a few gigs around home with them.

He used to have a tent show, a little tent show, and I thought I was going to get a job working one year on the tent show, but he closed it down and I never got to go out there, but anyway, he had a sax and played drums.

You can’t encore the past. If I see a bright light shining out there, I want to go toward it.

She was a great lady. We raised three boys, were together as long as she lived, and now she's passed on.

My music came up from the soil of North Carolina.

If you don't let things develop, it's like keeping something in a bag and not letting it out to fly

You know you can get gaudy with something, and they didn't do that. To me, I think it's very tasteful, well done, with the silver and gold and the engraving. I think it's very tasteful.

I know she would want me to still do what I'm doing, because she kept me going a lot of times when I'd almost lose interest in getting out on the road.

I enjoy doing new tunes. It gives me a little bit to perk up, to pay a little bit more attention.

I don't like to travel as much as I have in the past, but it's good for my soul to get to pick, especially with these good musicians and these guys that play so well.

I like drums, really, if they're under control.

That was one of the best, exciting things for me to play with them. They were very young and eager to go. I'd been playing with a band that was mostly old folks that had been together so long we couldn't do anything to excite each other.
