Friends and family are remembering Earl Scruggs as a pioneering musician who invented the modern way to play the banjo. Scruggs died at the age of 88. More than 2,000 people attended a public funeral for Scruggs at the Ryman Auditorium.

Charlie Daniels told the crowd that “no one will ever play the banjo like Earl.” Ricky Skaggs called Scruggs the “most humble musician” he ever met. The closed casket sat just below the Ryman stage, with a banjo behind it. A dozen floral arrangements decorated the stage. Performers during the service included Del McCoury, Skaggs, Bela Fleck, Emmylou Harris, Vince Gill, Marty Stuart and Patty Loveless.

Some of the top names in country music are in the Georgia Hall of Fame including Alan Jackson, Chet Atkins, Travis Tritt, Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood and many others. But it’ll be tough for anyone to visit unless it’s saved. The Telegraph of Macon reports the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in Macon is shutting down June 12th. Money from the state of Georgia is ending and the hall’s board of directors decided against asking for money from the public to keep it open. Memorabilia from the hall will be moved to the University of Georgia but it won’t be on display.

DRIVE4COPD has just announced the Ambassador Program, where fans are encouraged to sign up to become part of Patty Loveless’s race team and encourage friends and family to log onto DRIVE4COPD.COM to take a brief, five-question screener to see if they might be at risk for COPD.

COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. and half of the 24 million Americans who have the disease don’t even know it. For Patty, this cause is personal: her sister Dottie died of COPD at the young age of 48.

One Ambassador from Patty’s team will be chosen to meet Patty in person on November 4 at an event in Atlanta. The contest runs through October 21.
