Elise hosts Tommy Goldsmith on the Daily Antidote of Song
April 8 @ 12:00 pm – 12:30 pm
April 8
12:00 – 12:30 p.m.
Thomas Goldsmith explores the origins and influence of “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” against the backdrop of Scruggs’s legendary career. Interviews with Scruggs, his wife Louise, disciple Béla Fleck, and sidemen like Curly Seckler, Mac Wiseman, and Jerry Douglas shed light on topics like Scruggs’s musical evolution and his working relationship with Bill Monroe. As Goldsmith shows, the captivating sound of “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” helped bring back the banjo from obscurity and distinguished the low-key Scruggs as a principal figure in American acoustic music.
