Flatt & Scruggs played the Penn Theater in Pennsboro, WV in the 50s; Nitro, WV in the 60s - both small towns. They have been around the horn. I saw them there and loved every minute. Saw Earl Scruggs Revue in Raleigh, NC in early 70s and was thrilled. What a group, what talent! My childhood memories included listening to the likes of Flatt/Scruggs, Hylo Brown, Mack Wiseman, etc... on the old battery-operated radio. We didn't get an electric one till sometime in the 50s.
