During the discussion in summer 2009 about whether it really was Earl playing on the radio recording of "I'll Fly Away," one BHO member suggested that the rest of us post our versions of the song. So here is a recent version of mine that incorporates a little bit of a salute to the mystery player we have all agonized about (it is indeed Earl Scruggs). Also, near the end, it includes a tip of the hat to Bill Keith, who in the early 1960s came closer than most to capturing elements of not only Earl's style but also his tone, as pointed out first by Steve Arkin. Played on a 2007 Huber VRBG. I have posted the tab for my arrangement of I'll Fly Away on the Tablature Archive in BHO.

This is a fine Reno and Smiley song, from a practice tape of my band Silver Spring, recorded in Vancouver, B.C., in the mid-1970s. Played on a 1929 Gibson model 6 flathead. A tab of the break is posted in the Tablature Archive on BHO.
