Love the way Ricky tugs on Lester's pantleg at the start. Kid doesn't look nervous at all. Great vid.

Anybody with half a brain could have seen this and predicted phenomenally great things from little Ricky. Hell, at seven he had half the players in today's country music beat.

I wanna post something like "And this next mus'cal number is my daddy's favorite song about shooting nigras" but, quite honestly, this song is too good for me to smartass this video. And I'm not even that big a fan of country music

Ricky Skaggs is simply the greatest musical talent alive today! He can play ANYTHING and he can sing ANYTHING and he does it ALL perfectly!

That is quite a story, 100% fiction, but still quite a story. The Flatt & Scruggs Show was on television for many years.

I think the story went that the crowd kept calling out to Bill to let "Little Ricky Skaggs" play, and finally he did. Still, Imagine you're six years old, and you're standing next to the biggest star of the day, and you're playing *his* mandolin on *his* stage. It's a feat that Ricky even remembers the particulars of that day.

Another clue that Bill Monroe wasn't there was the presence of the dobro (played by "Uncle Josh" Graves.) Monroe was very vocal about how the dobro had no place in bluegrass music (which was pretty selective since the mandolin had only come into popularity shortly before Monroe was born.) Skaggs did play on stage with Monroe when he was six using Monroe's Gibson F-5 mandolin but that was at a Bill Monroe concert so you were partially right.

I'm aware that's Ricky Skaggs. Further, I can assure you that Bill Monroe wasn't around. This is a clip from the Martha White Show that featured Flatt & Scruggs. Lester Flatt had already had his major falling out with Monroe by this time. Also, that is NOT Monroe's mandolin. Monroe was famous for playing a Gibson F-5 (Lloyd Loar era) mandolin. Skaggs is playing at A model which I have never seen nor heard of Monroe ever playing on stage.

no that is ricky skaggs, They performed in the little town, out somewhere, and ricky and his parents went to the school where they were playing and bill monroe pulled him up on stage and began pickin with earl scruggs and lester flatt, the reason that bill monroe isnt around is becaus he gave his mandolin to ricky, and he walked out of the screen since he didnt play nothin durin that song
By: TL250Rider. on 08 Sep 08, 04:54:25
Wow I believe he is Playing a Gibson Mandolyn Pricess
By: jstrunck. on 18 Aug 08, 22:37:37
WoW!
By: jocwalk. on 03 Aug 08, 08:11:44
I believe you mean Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs.
By: jacoboforlando. on 29 Jul 08, 03:00:12

By: tyty13428. on 28 Jul 08, 17:26:28
i think he must have been verey brave to go up in frount of bill monroe and ask to pick that song he had to be brave lol
By: tangerine1490. on 23 Jul 08, 17:51:08

Isn't "dumbshit" two words? Or are you inbred like your sister?
By: urfaceislolburn. on 22 Jul 08, 18:53:14

7 yrs old being backed by lester and earl, wowzers.
By: ccoraxfan. on 17 Jul 08, 05:44:39
Here's a good example of why it's good for people to start young on music! Now where are all the people who post disparaging comments on every unknown kid playing well on an instrument on YouTube? Aren't you all going to complain about how little Ricky's parents must have forced him to practice and how he couldn't have had a normal childhood? Come on, let's hear from you! ;)
By: cyeoql. on 13 Jul 08, 10:59:59
Wow.... what a talent! Didn't know he started so young... he's one of my favorites
By: elvisghost100. on 12 Jul 08, 09:29:32
duhh...who is that??...Ricky Scaggs you idiots!!
