Earl Scruggs wears two finger picks and a thumb pick, and by alternating them, he can play about as fast as he wants. So it's this action. You know, you couldn't move one finger that fast, but all three, it's pretty easy, and it's kind of an incredible leap.

It's made a lot of people richer from hearing Earl Scruggs. And I just think we're all very lucky to have him in the world.

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