1. niggers
2. I knew my great uncle was good but dang didnt know he could play that good at 7 years old. I think it is great uncle. My mother's mother's sister's kid lol
3. It's hard to believe how good he could play already at only 7 yrs. old! So talented.
4. Insanely perfect that this was captured on video for all to see. Crazy cool.
5. No problem
6. Wow Ricky Skaggs said this was here at his concert last night in Calgary, Alberta ---- Awesome !!! So glad he told us about it :)
7. This is incredible! Rare footage and rare talent.
8. Idiot savant, not "mongoloid". I played music with an autistic kid that was very skilled at music, and he later has been a famous picker after he outgrew it. But Ricky Skaggs was a special kid, no doubt.
9. "WHO"S GONNA FILL THEIR SHOES "
10. I just saw Ricky Skaggs TODAY (Sept. 4, 2011) at a concert in Copper Mountain, Colorado. Still goin' strong, and sounded GREAT! He mentioned in his show that he performed on stage with Flatt & Skruggs at age 7.
11. That's about how old I was when I started... but I wasn't half that good then!
12. that was fantastic!!
13. Oh, wow! I love it! I've only seen him as an adult as well. I was lucky enough to see him in concert both at the Luther Burbank Center in Santa Rosa Ca., and some years later in Petaluma at the county fair. I loved him the first time I saw him and I was SO excited to get to see him again. As I recall he had a mighty cute guitarist there with him that time. ;-) My mother and I have several of his albums (tapes, now) and still play them regularly. Beautiful picking! We Love You Ricky! Keep playing

18. Golden stuff! Little Ricky Skraggs! I gotta say big Ricky would look a helluva lot better if he went back to little Ricky's hairstyle. What is that all about?
19. This video is so appealing mainly because this little boy is so cute and so talented. I have only seen him as an adult. What a delight. Thanks for posting this!
20. Ricky played the original across the road from my Uncle Chuck Gartin's (RIP) and he is my father's (RIP) Brother In Law Glare Mullins (Aunt Stella (RIP) nephew. I was born in Louisa KY ans damned proud of it. Like everyone else went to Ohio or some of us to Memphis. enjoyed the Video Ricky. Your Cousin Johnny is here with me. We are officially home sick after hearing this. Maybe we will all get together (hopefully in Louisa soon. Thinking of you .. Susan Gartin (Howard's Daughter)
21. Ricky Skaggs tell a story on one of these YouTube videos about attending a Bill Monroe concert when he was this age. Several people in the audience kept yelling for Mr. Monroe to get Ricky up on stage. Finally he says yes and Ricky finds himself on stage with Bill Monroe. Bill took his own mandolin off his shoulder shortens the strap and hands it to Ricky. What a story!
22. REAKON ITS BETTER THAN MA FIBER THE AGE IS WORNG HES WAS 6
23. REAKON ITS BETTER THAN MA FIBER
