Here's another song from recently found DVDs which contain a couple Foghorn Stringband gigs in Ireland from back in 2006. Documented by Bill Whelan (Rough Deal String Band, OXO boys). Thanks Bill! This is first generation Foghorn Stringband; at the time the line up was: Stephen "Sammy" Lind - Fiddle, Caleb Klauder - Mandolin, The Reverend P.T. Grover, Jr. - Banjo, Kevin Sandri - Guitar, Vocals and myself on string bass.
I don't recall playing this song much. But a memorable occasion was when we played the song (perhaps for the first time) in Golden Gate Park after a passerby requested a song "about momma" Kevin made it through a verse or so before the fella broke down into tears. It was a little awkward to be playing in the park while an audience of one was rolling around in the grass wailing, but I suppose that's one way music can move you. When we finished the song, he thanked us and moved on. It was a sobering moment for all involved.
