This is what I can ID so far:
1:21 - Wildwood Flower
2:14 - Flint Hill Special
4:01 - Fo... well everybody knows! :P
Should I be ashamed? Probably so!
I recognize at least 2-3 more of them, but don't know the names of them but would like to learn to pick them.
Cheers!

Black Mountain Rag 3:13
Rubber Dolly 3:37
Raw Hide 4:26
Fiddle tune at 1:41 reminds me of Sally Goodin, but I'm not sure. One of the Dobro instrumentals also echoes one of Josh Graves' on the Strictly Instrumental Flatt & Scruggs album with Doc Watson, but again that's only the "B" part.
Pretty good mish-mosh of BG standards, with some virtuoso picking.
Notice, by the way, that they revert to the ol' original Flatt & Scruggs Mercury Records version of Foggy Mountain Breakdown, with an E major chord, rather than the Em everyone plays nowadays.

The first tune is "Foggy Mountain Rock". The second dobro tune is "Fireball".
I think Allen is correct with "Sally Goodin" but I'm not sure either. One time I think it is and the next time I don't...???

Is Rubber Dolly similar to 'Back Up & Push"?

Is Rubber Dolly similar to 'Back Up & Push"?
Yes. The old time fiddlers in Canada always called it Rubber Dolly, I think that there were some silly kid song lyrics to it also.

Rubber Dolly is usually in A on the fiddle, BU&P always in C (to get the shuffle correct across the strings). Same melody. Lots of variations/takeoffs in BU&P but not in Rubber Dolly.
