SALLY ANN JOHNSON. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Virginia, West Virginia. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Brody): AABB' (Phillips). The title is sometimes confused with "Sally Johnson (1)" ("Katy Hill" family), a different tune altogether, as is the similarly-titled "Sally Ann" ("Great Big Taters") family of tunes. Alan Jabbour, in his notes to his source Henry Reed's )Glen Lyn, Virginia) version of the tune notes that Irish variants of the tune go by the name "Boys of Bluehill (The)," "Freedom for Ireland" and "Nights of Gladness Quadrille." ; Roche, vol. 3, 74 (#196) "Nights of Gladness Quadrille." Jabbour also says "Sally Ann Johnson" compares with "Banks of Inverness" and the American variants "Beaus of Oak Hill" and "Beaux of Oak Hill]," "Two Sisters (The)," and "Lonesome Katy." A cognate Blue Ridge tune is Taylor Kimble's "Old Ark A-Moving". "Many printed sets are cast as hornpipes," notes Jabbour, "with the characteristic three eighth notes ending each strain. Henry Reed's tune has the feel of an American breakdown, but its circular structure for the melody leading from the second strain back to the first is unusual."[1] According to Guthrie Meade, this piece was a favorite competition number for St. Albans, West Virginia, fiddler Clark Kessinger at fiddlers' contests.
