Earl Scruggs Pictures from Myrtle Beach

I was at the Myrtle Beach show a couple weekends ago taping a concert DVD for Hay Holler Records. The other camera guy that was there helping us out was David Wells. Dave just happened to have his digital still camera and got a couple of great images of Earl on stage that night before he fell. Dave sent the pictures to me and now I’m sharing them with you.
