The cause of his death has been attributed to natural causes. Earl Scruggs, who changed the course of country music in the 1940s with Bill Monroe and guitarist Lester Flatt, died on the morning of Wednesday, March 28, at a hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. His son, Gary, said in a statement that his father died of natural causes. Born in 1924 to a musically gifted family in rural Cleveland County, North Carolina, Earl Scruggs was a country music legend who developed his own style of banjo playing. His innovative style of using his three fingers instead of the claw hammer on the banjo attracted the attention of Bill Monroe in 1945 and he took him under his wing. "The banjo was, for all practical purposes, 'reborn' as a musical instrument," reads the biography on Scruggs’ official website. "Due to the talent and prominence Earl Scruggs gave to the instrument." nike mens air max ， The legendary performer was still playing in Monroe’s band when he met guitarist and mandolin player Lester Flatt. Three years later, Earl Scruggs formed the Foggy Mountain Boys with Flatt and they were popularly known as “Flatt & Scruggs”. The band was best known for the 1949 instrumental "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" played in the 1967 movie "Bonnie and Clyde" and "The Ballad of Jed Clampett", which became the theme of "The Beverly Hillbillies", the popular TV series that debuted in 1962. They also performed other hits like The Monkees' hit "Last Train to Clarksville" and "Nashville Skyline Rag”. Life-time achievement award recipient Earl Scruggs continued to perform on his own after the death of Lester Flatt in 1979. Ten years ago, Scruggs won a Grammy Award for a recording of "Foggy Mountain Breakdown", which featured Steve Martin, Paul Shaffer, Albert Lee, Travis Tritt, Vince Gill and Marty Stuart. nike air max mens，"I realize his popularity throughout the world went way beyond just bluegrass and country music," his son, Gary Scruggs, told CNN. "It was more than that." Neil Portnow, president and CEO of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, said Earl Scruggs "leaves an indelible legacy that will be remembered for generations to come." Four-time Grammy winner Earl Scruggs is survived by two sons, Gary and Randy. Louise, his wife of 57 years, died in 2006. Flowers will be placed on his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday. nike air max mens：http://www.outletonline-stores.com 2. faith hill,JetBlue captain's unraveling baffles friends Tags:meme, o long johnson, south park, southpark, can am nike men s air max ，RICHMOND HILL, Ga. (AP) — No one recalls JetBlue Airways captain Clayton Osbon coming unhinged before. Not the airline that let him fly for 12 years, the neighbors in his secluded waterfront community or the friends he tried selling weight-loss shakes to on the side. Now federal prosecutors have charged Osbon following his bizarre unraveling aboard Flight 191 to Las Vegas, describing in court records a midair breakdown they say began with cockpit ramblings about religion and ended with passengers wrestling him to the cabin floor. men s nike air max ，Witness accounts of Osbon telling his co-pilot "things just don't matter" and sprinting down the center aisle — yelling jumbled remarks about Sept. 11 and Iran — baffled longtime friends and fellow pilots who said they couldn't remember previous health or mental problems. Osbon, 49, was instead described as an affable aviator who took his private plane for joyrides in his spare time, shied from talking politics and hosted Super Bowl parties. His father was also a pilot who died in a 1995 plane crash while on a sunken treasure hunt, according to a Wisconsin newspaper in the town where his family lived. "I can't say whether it's shock or disbelief," said Justin Ates, a corporate jet pilot and friend who also lives in Richmond Hill. "It's hard to describe what you feel when you see something that's completely 100 percent out of character." nike air max trainer ，In an interview last year with the local magazine Richmond Hill Reflections, Osbon said he first got in the cockpit when he was 6 or 7 and had ambitions of becoming a motivational speaker. His father and another man died after the engines in their plane failed over Daytona Beach while en route to look for treasure in Fort Lauderdale, according to 1995 story in the Washington Island Observer, a newspaper in the small Wisconsin community where Osbon's parents had a home. Osbon's LinkedIn profile states that he received a degree in aeronautical physics from Hawthorne College and a physics degree from Carnegie Mellon University. However, Carnegie Mellon spokeswoman Teresa Thomas said Osbon attended the school for three years but never obtain his degree. nike air max trainer：http://www.outletonline-stores.com 3. stevie nicks,Testone Safe for Another Week Tags:fleetwood mac, aerosmith, hollie cavanagh, how old is stevie nicks, jimmy iovine sick nike air trainer max ，Mount Pleasant resident and "American Idol" contestant Elise Testone is safe for another week on the popular FOX singing competition. Vote results announced Wednesday revealed that voters passed Testone show's Top 8. Judges were fond of Testone's rendition of Led Zepplin's "Whole Lotta Love." nike air max white ，"I wasn't sure you were going to pull that off because nobody can pull that off. You made Robert Plant proud tonight, girl," Steven Tyler said. See ongoing Testone coverage on Patch. Testone's performance and her look was reminiscent of a younger Stevie Nicks, the episode's mentor. It was an observation not lost on Idol mentor and music producer Jimmy Iovine. "Last night, Elise did herself and 'American Idol' a lot of good," Iovine said. "She took charge of the stage … She's exactly at the right age." See photos and video of Testone's time on 'Idol.' white nike air max ，Iovine compared Testone, 28, to Nicks and Annie Lennox, who also launched their careers in their mid-to-late 20s. "If she remains in the competition, which is most certainly deserves after last night … she goes right to the top of the class and is in competition for the whole thing." Testone, popular on the Charleston live-music circuit, is known for her raspy vocals and soulful delivery, but she had previously found herself in the bottom 3 twice in the competition. This is her second week sailing through, and next week's 80s genre could work to her advantage. "She was the dark horse, but not any more," Iovine said. "She's coming on strong." white nike air max：http://www.outletonline-stores.com 4.
