Ricky Skaggs is best known a successful Country music performer, but like many Country greats he actually got his start in the Bluegrass genre.
And like most of those Bluegrass-turned-Country stars, he first began making great music at a very young age.

I’m sure you’ve heard folks say something like “My poor old car is destined for the crusher (or shredder)!”
Truth be told, countless vehicles are destroyed and recycled every day of the year, but have you ever actually seen a car crusher or shredder in action?
These things are nothing short of amazing. In a matter of minutes a car will will be transformed from a completely intact vehicle into a literal heap of bits of metal, rubber, plastic and glass.
