Charlie Derrington’s tragic death in a senseless accident on Tuesday night has received some attention in The Tennessean, the primary daily paper in Nashville. The details are not pleasant for any friend of Charlie’s to contemplate.

His funeral will be held today (August 3) at 5:30 p.m. at Pettus-Owen and Wood Funeral Home in Nashville (615-292-3392). Visitation will be from 3:30-5:30 (CDT).

Once again, on behalf of The Bluegrass Blog, our sympathies and condolences are extended to Charlie’s wife Susan and his daughter Anna.
