SALT RIVER [3]. AKA and see "Shady Grove (2)." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, southwestern Virginia. A Mixolydian. Standard or AEae (Norman Edmonds) tunings (fiddle). AABB. A tune and title common in the Franklin/Floyd County area of southwestern Va. Tom Carter and Blanton Owen (1976) say the high part of this version resembles the standard "Salt River (2)" versions, the lower "more closely approximates" versions of "Shady Grove (2)." The tune was in the repertoire of Norman Edmonds, a fiddler from Hillsville, in the Round Peak area of western North Carolina/southwestern Virginia. Edmonds and his band, the Old Timers (which included three of his sons on guitar and Rufus Quesinberry on banjo), had a radio show for fifteen minutes every Saturday morning from the mid-1950's to around 1970 on the local Galax, Va., station.
