Not my type of music but he was very popular. I'm sure he'll be missed. Thank heavens for his recordings.

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.

Another of the great ones passes!
