Jerry Douglas announced on Facebook today that Tut Taylor has passed away. More information to come as I receive it.
His work with John Hartford, Norman Blake, and others was incredibly influential. He was a noted Dobro® collector and composer of many songs (see the CD "Southern Filibuster" for an all star cast performing his tunes).
RIP Tut Taylor (the flat pickin' dobro man)

(By way of gentle correction to the thread above, I don't believe Tut was on "Will The Circle Be Unbroken"--Norman Blake and Pete "Oswald" Kirby were. Tut's own website discography doesn't list "Circle." Groundbreaking albums Tut was on include John Hartford's "Aereo-Plain" and "The Great Dobro Sessions.")
