IBMA FanFest 2006 - Foggy Mountain Rock by eight great dobroplayers

Josh Graves passed away Sept. 30, 2006. He suffered from health problems related to diabetes for the last several years. Graves remained optimistic and continued to perform up until two weeks before his death. He had agreed to perform at IBMAs Bluegrass Fan Fest in Nashville for a Bluegrass Legends set with Curly Seckler, J.D. Crowe and Everett Lilly on the day he passed away. Instead, Randy Kohrs led a group of well-known Dobro players in a musical tribute to Uncle Josh, performing Fireball and Foggy Mountain Rock. In addition to Kohrs, Leroy Mack, Rob Ickes, Phil Leadbetter, Ferrell Stowe, Andy Hall, Kim Gardner and Josh Swift participated.

Nice to see these fellas neck to neck. I agree that Josh Swift is becoming one of the few tastiest players in the arena. His timing and phrasing is killing.
