  Foggy Mountain Boys Summary
Created in 1948 by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, the Foggy Mountain Boys were one of bluegrass music's most popular acts, introducing millions of listeners to the style through their association with well-known movies and televisions shows in the 1950s.
The Foggy Mountain Boys' first recordings were made shortly after Flatt and Scruggs left Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys in 1948, and in the space of little more than a year they created 28 of the most influential and enduring songs in the style, virtually all of which have become standards.
While the Foggy Mountain Boys scored their first charting record in 1952, "'Tis Sweet To Be Remembered," their real breakthrough came when the Martha White Mills signed on as their sponsor, a relationship that was to continue for as long as the band existed.

It was written by Earl Scruggs and recorded in 1949 by Flatt and Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys, with Scruggs playing a Gibson Granada 5-string banjo.
It featured the same opening double hammer on, but "Bluegrass Breakdown" goes to an F chord whereas Foggy Mountain Breakdown goes to the G chord's relative minor, an E Minor.

 Breakdown
Breakdown is the story of the rise and fall and rise and fall of the band Foggy Mountain Breakdown.
Nashville is the first festival we had in mind when creating "Breakdown" so we are very excited about an opportunity to be involved with the festival.
While we are disappointed about delaying the release the possibility for showing the film at the Nashville fest and getting "Breakdown" in front of a wider audience outweighs any disappointment we may have about the DVD release.

 Jazz Idioms In Foggy Mountain Breakdown   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
It is not too surprising that he shows a couple of interesting jazz oriented elements in the original Mercury recording of Foggy Mountain Breakdown, one possibly subconscious, the other purely intentional.
Examing the notes used in FMB, notice there is no 4 note of the scale (C in the key of G, or in actuality, C# since they were tuned up almost a half step) played.
The #4/5 combination (the 2-3 hammer-on on the second string) which announces the tune and the #5/6 (the 1-2 slide on the fourth and 8-9 slide on the second string into E minor) are essential.

FMB is a great tune and you do a wonderful job with it.

After driving up a winding mountain road we stopped at a "cabin", which is more like a rest-stop.
Locating the place might be difficult, as it was dark and mountain roads aren't famous for streetlights.

 Mercury Recording of Foggy Mountain Breakdown
Just to add to our current discussion of the Mercury Foggy Mt. Breakdown, I might add some comments that Sonny Osborn made to me during an interview I did here in Okla. for, but never published in, Banjo Newsletter back in 1976.
I also asked him what his three favorite instrumentals were and after some urging, he came back with...."well all right, Bugle Call Rag from the Foggy Mt Banjo album, Foggy Mt Breakdown, the old Mercury record of it,and Dear Old Dixie, I like awful well.
It would be between that or Flint Hill Special or Pike Co. Breakdown, the way Scruggs played it or the way J.D. plays it.

 Sharyn McCrumb, Foggy Mountain Breakdown
As I said of the review I did of the previous Ballad novels, 'Sharyn clearly is of the Hills and desperately wants these novels to reflect both her ancestry and the culture created there.
Born, bred, and still living in Appalachia, McCrumb's mountain roots and her Scottish-Irish heritage show themselves strongly in her work.
None of these tickled me fancy, so I picked up a collection of her tales, Foggy Mountain Breakdown And Other Stories, and set down in the window seat overlooking Oberon's Wood to read some of the stories there...
