Rediscovered video of Foghorn Stringband at the Cobblestone Pub in Dublin, back in 2006

August 12, 2020

I recently rediscovered DVDs containing Foghorn Stringband gigs in Ireland from back in 2006. 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, and myself on string bass. This clip was from a gig at the Cobblestone pub in Dublin, documented by Bill Whelan who was kind enough to send me a copy of the DVD way back when. Thanks, Bill! The Cobblestone was one of our favorite places to play - as I recall, we traveled from the states that day, and played the gig that evening. The tune in this clip is "Black Mountain Rag." Kevin was working on replacing a guitar string so the melody section started the tune. The Rhythm section jumps in mid way through the tune.
