He doesn't talk much and is a quiet reserved man. But after reading his book you start to understand why. He tries to get directly across to the reader what he is really like and describes his early life growing up with Carter and how they got into music. There is nothing lost in translation. because his writing is so direct and honest you really get the picture (just like his songs!). Some of his old time stories are real funny. He is a great story teller because of his honesty and directness in the same way he is a great singer of old time songs.

Where Purchased: Jack Hatfield Music
These method books are incredibly good quality. Hundreds of pages of learning and tablature. Taking you from complete beginner to playing in a band.
I was surprised these were not more in the main stream as they are the best books I have come across to date.
A very structured and intelligent approach by one of the great teachers of the instrument. Books all come with CD's

Where Purchased: Country music hall of fame
I got volume 1. The show is really good but its pity its just an hour long.
One good thing is as its older there are no constant changes in camera angles. The camera often zooms towards Earls playing fingers which is interesting to see. I suppose they are a bit on the expensive side but its Flatt and scruggs!
