The Lord must be clapping His hands now.  Clapping in time to Flatt & Scruggs, as they play together at that big square dance up in the sky.

Back in the late 60's, Flatt & Scruggs split up.  The main issue was the use of electric instruments.  Flatt wanted to stick with the traditional acoustic instruments, while Scruggs wanted to branch out and start using electric.  Now, they can play together and that issue has finally been resolved.

See there?  If they had just stuck with it and waited, these things eventually just work themselves out.
