Thread Name: OBIT: Hylo Brown, deceased?
Subject: Hylo Brown, deceased?
The Earl Scruggs message board had the following posted by a fellow who said that his aunt has been Hylo's nurse for the last few years. I searched to see if there was an on obit anywhere, but came up empty.
HYLO BROWN PASSED AWAY ON FRIDAY. THE BALLADEER ENTERTAINED PEOPLE FOR YEARS. HE PLAYED WITH LESTER AND EARL FOR AWHILE BEFORE BECOMING A SOLO ACT. EARL PLAYED WITH HIM AT THE NEWPORT FESTIVAL BACK IN 1959 WHEN THE PROMOTERS FORGOT TO INVITE LESTER. IM SURE MOST OF YOU WHO COME TO THIS WEBSITE HAVE BOUGHT THE LATEST EARL SCRUGGS CD. WHICH IS SOME OF THE PERFORMANCES FROM THE NEWPORT FESTIVAL.
