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

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

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

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.
