I don't know what will get settled by this. All music is from within. I don't know though if any of the above mentioned musicians brought together the level of talent the Earl did with his kids. Man what music they made and played!! It don't matter who the father is. Earl showed that music doesn't have to be stereo typed!! His ability to progress and move forward is phenominal.
All of these musicans are and was great!! But if you read when John McEuen says about the making of Will the circle be unbroken album, Earl couldn't wait to jump on board for that project. I think sometimes it was his ablity to accept change from the Artist procpective, he alone helped keep bluegrass alive in the dead years.
