You know, I used to listen to Bill Monroe on the Grand Ole Opry, ... But what got me was when my oldest brother got a Flatt and Scruggs record. I was about 11 at the time and, boy, when I heard Earl Scruggs, that was it. That turned a big old light bulb on upstairs. That's when I said, 'That's what I want to do.' -Del Mccoury
