Earl Scruggs died Wednesday morning, 28th March, at a
Nashville hospital. He was 88. Scruggs popularized a complex, three-fingered style
of playing banjo that transformed the instrument, inspired nearly every banjo

bluegrass music.

After being blacklisted during the Red Scare of the 1950s, folk
song revivalist, civil rights advocate, and social activist Pete Seeger began

work.
