One of my best college buddies from Louisa Kentucky grew up with Ricky Skaggs who has to be one of the most talented bluegrass singers and musicians that ever was. He lists Earl Scruggs as one of his great influences. Coincidentally, Linda recorded 3 songs with Earl on his 1972 album "I Saw the Light With Some Help From My Friends".
It was during that time when I got to meet Linda at a benefit concert in Kentucky where she was the opening act for the Earl Scruggs Revue. Emmy worked with Ricky quite a bit over the years.
