wow... are there any original members left? i know john duffey died about ten years ago or so, and mike auldridge (quite possibly the best dobro player to ever walk the earth) left the band around the same time.
if you can find a copy, "live at the cellar door" is one of the best bluegrass albums ever made.
(yeah, i'm full of surprises...)
cool. thanks for the tip, syntax.
Ben Eldridge is an original member and Lou Reid was a member several years ago and has returned to the lineup. Both Dudley and Ronnie have played in the band before John Duffey passed away. Duffey once said that the lineup (with Fred, Dudley, Ronnie, Ben, and jhimself) was the best lineup the Scene ever had.
They retain the spirit and still have many of the sound elements from the original Scene, but have maintained a cutting edge to still be considered innovaters and creative forces in bluegrass while NOT ditching the band's routes and early excitement.
