I'm sure he'll be missed. Thank heavens for his recordings.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-29-2012 12:14 PM                     Foggy Mountain Breakdown: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RvI6ZI2JWc  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-29-2012 12:16 PM                        I remember seeing Flatt and Scruggs on the "Beverly Hillbillies" in the '60s. That was my intro to their music. The fun part of seeing them was the fact that they were totally NOT actors but still having fun being on the show. I still get a kick out of "Orange Blossom Special." Great tune. Charlie Daniels does a great version of it.  |  IP: Logged Rick Raskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1100 From: Manassas Virginia Registered: Jan 2003 posted 03-29-2012 04:59 PM                     Another of the great ones passes!  |  IP: Logged
