Hey Gang,
I'll be hosting the High Lonesome Sound tonight on KOPN 89.5 fm (or listen live at kopn.org) from 9pm to midnight.

Program note: We heard today about the passing of one of our bluegrass favorites, Ronnie Bowman, after a motorcycle accident. We'll be playing several of the songs Ronnie recorded as tribute during the show.

Happy Birthday to the man who changed everything. 🪕

Earl Scruggs was born on this day in 1924. His three-finger picking style didn't just define bluegrass banjo—it created it. Every roll, every lick, every note we play traces back to him.

From the Foggy Mountain Boys to the Beverly Hillbillies theme, Earl brought the banjo to the world. And the world never sounded the same.

Thank you, Earl. We're all still trying to keep up.
