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. Bailey tuned his fiddle in AEad (low to high), sometimes called "Old Sledge tuning" after another piece played in the same tuning.
