My Dad playing at KGAF radio circa 1959.	I shouldn't have jammed all night long.. Glenrose TX 1974. I'm the one in the hat...
Showing how to play a chord that has more notes than you have fingers. Or I'm playing the snot out of it! That's the great Stealth banjo I let get away...Dang...	Me and Earl! At John Hartford's house.
I'm the creamy filling...	Ever wonder what happens if you photocopy your face? Joe Carr wanted to title it "New process reveals amazing image in Shroud of Turin!"

In the studio in 1981 on a project of mine with Mark O'Connor, Jerry Douglas, Texas Shorty, Bill Millet, Sam Bush and others. Funk/Fusion/Jazz. Sort of Weather Report meets Flatt and Scruggs.	John Travolta look out!
Earl Scruggs and me at his house (Thanks Jack Hatfield!) where I got Earl to sign my first edition, hard cover Sgruggs instructuion book with his name misspelled on the cover... (See closeup on right.) I was going to ask him to misspell his name the same way but chickened out! Earl is a very gracious man but that would porbably be over the top.	If you look closely you'll notice that "Scruggs" is spelled "Sgruggs." It's that way on the dust jacket and flyleaf too. Alan Munde owns a soft cover one misspelled the same way.
