Hey all, I'm new to BH. I wanted to ask if anyone has access to this tune - specifically Scruggs' version. I have a bunch of tab books and this one is no where to be found. I scavenged the internet and still nothing. John Hicks introduced me to this song on his YouTube channel "long live earl scruggs". If you could share a pdf with me that'd be terrific, thank you.

Earl Scruggs did not take a break in this song. He played tasteful backup as always...Jack Baker

Yes thats the one! I tried to post a link to this video, since this was my first post I can't post links until my third. Anyways, Earl's break is one the I'm searching for.

Love me some Hylo Brown especially backed up by Earl!
Truly perfect bluegrass.

The recording link provided by chuckv97 is indeed from the 1959 Newport Folk Festival. Below is a link to the discography of the Earl Scruggs Classic Bluegrass Live 1959-1966 album. Notice that the first eight cuts are all with Hylo Brown. If you mouse-click on each of those eight cuts, you'll see that all eight are from the 1959 Newport festival.  Also below is a link to all eight recordings on YouTube

I might add that, to my earl, Earl sounds fabulous on the recording, and the tone of his banjo sounds fabulous. I doubt that Pete Seeger would have had any problem with the quality of the PA on that performance.  I wonder if Earl was then still using a skin head on his banjo?
