  • Black mountain rag was written by a fiddler from Black Mountain , N.C. named leslie Keith . he wrote it in the early 1940"s also he was one of the first fiddlers with Carter & Ralph Stanley The stanley Brothers i believe leslie passed away about late 1977 or 1978 if you have the cd Ralph Stanley live at mcclure recorded in 1975 you will hear Leslie keith play Black mountain Rag

  • The name of the tune is Black Mountain Rag and the fiddle is tuned A E A C#

  • I don't know what to say except "wow:- I've never seen Bobby with anything but a mando in his gifted hands.

  • Why is it that talented people can do anything? Bobby and a fiddle: MY!!!

  • This is scary man.

  • You get it Bobby! Sweet Melody!

  • He must have bought that HAT in Detroit! at the Pimps-r- Us store!

  • bobby can do most anything. the osborne bros. are the greatest and too bad, they were not in the prime of there careers when bluegrass bloomed during the past 5 years.

  • I wonder if americanmama will post the name of the song.

  • I will see if I can find the tape and find the name.

  • Thanks, I'm starting to agree with Matteo.

  • son its black mountain rag..what part of west virginia are you from anyway..gee whiz, my wifes nephew has more sense than that!!! everyone knows black mt. rag..dangit, black mountain is the biggest dern mountain in KENTUCKY!!!

  • Like I said, apologies, I'm only 14 and from CANADA not VIRGINIA.

  • dumbass black mountain may be kentuckys biggest hill, but the song black mountain rag was wrote about a mountain in north carolina according to doc watson, that's what he told me. you need to get your shit together redneck. doc said the original version had words.

  • Yeah... I always thought it was about the Black Mountains in western NC, where Doc is from.  I was also under the impression that he had written it, after hearing stuff like Steel Guitar Rag.

  • The name of the tune is "Black Mountain Rag". I first heard Bobby play this tune on fiddle at Hugo OK in 1971, which was the first year the Osborne Bros appeared at that festival.

  • Thanks!
