One of the most under-rated musicians and producers in Nashville. He stepped out of his father's shadow to create his own legacy.

Absolutely! I saw him a couple times with the Earl Scruggs Revue during the '70's, and he was already playing fast, clean, and gorgeous, with zero showmanship to detract from his playing.

Second of Earl's sons to die. Steve died in a domestic murder-suicide in 1992; article. (http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/banjo-great-s-son-kills-wife-then-himself/article_de42a489-a341-5b27-bd2a-cf5f1e3afc34.html)

"Both Sides Now" (Circle I) allways moves me. RIP Randy Scruggs.

Very sorry to hear this. By chance, I just posted a clip today in a subforum and thought it was cool watching a 16-year-old Randy playing guitar in Joan Baez' living room. Randy and I were about the same age. RIP Randy!
