Marcia Stehr Did you know Gino (Geno) Foreman (127* d) RE: Did you know Gino (Geno) Foreman 29 May 10

May 29, 2010

To honor Geno Foreman's 69th birthday today I have up loaded a photo of him on his Face Book fan page (link below)from 1954, age 13, when he was a student at The Putney School in Vermont. While there he was introduced to Folk Music and met Debbie Green. That experience changed his life. He soon had his beloved Stella banjo and learned it quickly.
Three years later, (age 16) on Nov.11, 1957 he recorded at Doug Dobell's Jazz Record Shop in London with Shirley Bland and Jim McGregor. The 78 record was released in 1958 on the label 77 Records.
Recording and Supervision by John R. T. Davis
Side One:
"Go Tell Aunt Rhodie" (Trad. arr. McGregor)
"Geno's Breakdown" (Foreman)
"Cripple Creek" (Trad. arr. McGregor)
Side Two:
"Foggy Mountain Top" (Carter)
"Sister Phoebe" (Trad. arr. McGregor)
Doug Dobell generously sent me the tape of that recording session after Geno died.
Peace and love,
Marcia
