Earl Scruggs, Bluegrass Legend, R. I. P.
Bluegrass legend and banjo pioneer Earl Scruggs, who helped profoundly change country and western music with fellow legend Bill Monroe and then later with guitarist Lester Flatt, passed away on Wednesday at a Nashville, Tennessee hospital at age 88 from natural causes.
An innovator who pioneered the modern banjo sound by using three fingers rather than the clawhammer style and thus turning the banjo from a comedian's prop or part of the rhythm section into a lead instrument, Mr. Scruggs is remembered for his string-bending and lead runs that became known throughout the world as the "Scruggs-picking" style.
Earl was with Bill Monroe and The Blue Grass Boys, whose debut during a post-World War II appearance on the Grand Ole Opry was considered a "big-bang" moment for the modern development of bluegrass and country music. After leaving Mr. Monroe in the late 1940s, Earl then teamed up with Mr. Flatt in a bluegrass act that lasted until they broke up in 1969 over which direction to go musically.
The team of Flatt and Scruggs was best known for their 1949 recording of "Foggy Mountain Breakdown, " as well their 1962 recording of "The Ballad of Jed Clampett."
After breaking up with Lester (who passed away in 1979), Earl used three of his sons in the Earl Scruggs Revue.
Lester (posthumously) and Earl were inducted together into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1985.
Here are Lester and Earl from a 1965 telecast performing "Foggy Mountain Breakdown.:
Rest in peace, Earl.

Another Saturday At The Movies
Welcome to another Saturday program here at Bob's House.
Let's start with "Mass Mouse Meeting," a 1943 Columbia Pictures (Screen Gems) Phantasy cartoon. In this one, the mouse assigned to place a bell around a cat's neck spends about four minutes talking to the feline about his new collar. With story by Dun Roman, animation by Chic Otterstrom, and music by Paul Worth, this cartoon was produced by Dave Fleischer and directed by Alec Geiss.
Next, it's time for Buster Keaton in the 1934 Educational Pictures short, "The Gold Ghost." In this Star Comedy Special, Buster, who was dumped by his girlfriend, drives west and winds up in the ghost town of Vulture City, where he appoints himself sheriff. With story by Ewart Adamson and Nick Barrows, adaptation and continuity by Ernest Pagano and Charles Lamont, photography by Dwight Warren (ASC) and sound by Karl Zint, this E. H. Allen production was directed by Charles Lamont. Distributed by Fox Film Corporation. Shown in two parts.
Due to unavailability of video, our originally scheduled presentation of the fourth chapter of Sea Raiders, our 1941 Universal Pictures serial with the Dead End Kids and Little Tough Guys will not be seen.
In its' place, we present a sports-oriented travelogue, "Caribbean Playgrounds," a 1955 entry in the Warner Brothers Sports Parade series. This film, made in WarnerColor, with sound by David Forrest and music by Howard Jackson, was written by Charles Tedford, edited by Rex Steele, narrated by Art Gilmore, and photographed and directed by Andre de LaVarre.
And now, our feature presentation:
From 1955, we bring you, "The Big Bluff." In this one, a scheming opportunist learns that a wealthy widow has a terminal heart condition, so he seduces and marries her. Playing the part of the doting and caring husband, he hides an affair with an exotic dancer while waiting for his wife's demise. When her condition changes and it seems she would not pass away on her own, the conniving man takes matters in his own hands. Starring John Bromfield, Martha Vickers, Robert Hutton, and Rosemary Bowe. This picture, with screenplay by Fred Freiberger and story by Mindret Lord, was produced and directed by W. Lee Wilder.
From Planet Filmways and distributed theatrically by United Artists.

Another Saturday At The Movies
And now, boys and girls, time for another web site movie program.
For starters, let's go back to 1945 for "The Dippy Diplomat," starring Woody Woodpecker. In this one, Wally Walrus is preparing a big barbecue for Ambassador Ivan Awfulitch. But Woody has other ideas. This Walter Lantz-produced cartoon, released by Universal Pictures, with story by Ben Hardaway and Milt Schaffer, animation by Pat Matthews and Grim Natwick, and music by Darrell Calker, was directed by James (Shamus) Culhane.
Next, W. C. Fields stars in the 1930 RKO Radio Pictures short subject "The Golf Specialist." This short was produced by Louis Brock and directed by Monte Brice.
Next, we turn to the third chapter of our 1941 Universal Pictures serial, Sea Raiders with the Dead End Kids and Little Tough Guys.
Which brings up to our feature presentation!
We present the 1950 film noir classic "D.O.A." Edmund O'Brien stars as the victim of a slow poison who tries to track down his own killer. This film also stars Pamela Britton, Luther Adler, Neville Brand, and Beverly Campbell. With Harry M. Popkin as executive producer, photography by Ernest Lazlo and music by Dimitri Tiomkin, this United Artists release was written by Russel Rouse and Clarence Greene, produced by Leo C. Popkin and directed by Rudolph Mate.
