SILVER LAKE [6]. American, Reel (cut time). AEad tuning (fiddle). AB. "Silver Lake [6]" is from the playing of Shock, Calhoun County, W.Va., fiddler Emery Bailey (1896-1960), whose name is sometimes given as 'Emory'. Fiddler Paul Kirk notes that the spelling on his gravestone is 'Emery', however. He was one of twelve children born to Winfield Bailey and Elizabeth Hicks, and married Blanche Goodrich on April 30, 1922. They had eleven children and Blanche (1903-2000) outlived him by forty years. One of Brandon Ray Kirk's informants, a man named Brooks, knew Bailey and compared him to the regional fiddle powerhouse Ed Haley: "[Emery] wasn't as good as Ed Haley by no means. Ed Haley was far ahead of everybody at that day and time. But Emery Bailey was one among the best of the fiddlers in Calhoun-Braxton-Clay-Gilmer Counties...Old Sol Carpenter's favorite was Emery Baily. He was fifty years ahed of his time"[1]. Bailey tuned his fiddle for his "Silver Lake" in AEad (low to high), sometimes called "Old Sledge tuning" after another piece played in the same tuning.
