I disagree with this move. The Foggy Mountain Boys were not Flatt & Scruggs, but their backing band. -- Dave C. 05:09, 16 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs each already have their own page. The band was "Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, and the Foggy Mountain Boys" but most people call them (as a whole, not just the two leaders) "Flatt and Scruggs". The common threads between Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs were membership in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys and this band. They never worked as a duo or a team with any other band. In other words, there really is no "Flatt and Scruggs" except in relation to the Foggy Mountain Boys. Cmadler 12:56, 16 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Since there is a redirect in place, I'm comfortable with your reasoning. -- Dave C. 18:13, 16 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This really makes little sense. Lester and Earl did in fact sometimes appear apart from the band, notably in a number of appearances on "The Beverly Hillbillies." It's pointless and confusing to claim there was no "Flatt and Scruggs" with the band.

Flatt and Scruggs was the name of the duo, the Foggy Mountain Boys was their backing band. Flatt and Scruggs were not members of the Foggy Mountain Boys, the Foggy Mountain Boys were the musicians who supported them. All of their records say "Flatt and Scruggs" as the name of the artist. I'm moving this. Leonor Hopscotch (talk) 19:17, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs Grand Ole Opry Show

I'm assumeing that "The Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs Grand Ole Opry Show" and "The Grand Ole Opry" are the same thing.

This is a completely false assumption. Not worth going into detail, but it's just wrong. Thomas Goldsmith Raleigh, N.C.

Foggy Mountain Boys → Flatt and Scruggs – The title of this article should be "Flatt and Scruggs." This was the name of the duo, the Foggy Mountain Boys were their backing band. Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs were not members of the Foggy Mountain Boys at any time. The Foggy Mountain Boys included Paul Warren, Curly Seckler, Josh Graves, and a variety of other artists who worked as backing musicians to the main duo, Flatt and Scruggs, over the course of their 20-year career. All of their records say either "Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, and the Foggy Mountain Boys," or "Flatt & Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys," or some variation thereof, or simply "Flatt and Scruggs." "Flatt & Scruggs" is and always was the name of the act.

There is currently a "Flatt and Scruggs" page that redirects to this, but it should be the other way around. Leonor Hopscotch (talk) 19:37, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
