  • This is wonderful. I get to see my friend from High School Jeff Goehring whom I miss all the time, and his wonderful then wife Susie. Jeff played saxophone in my first band, prior to his picking up the fiddle! Miss him all the time, thanks for posting this. Tom Smith Bexley Ohio

    The Great Blue Heron Music Festival is an annual festival held the first or second weekend of July in Sherman, a small town in western upstate New York.

  • Soo much fun! Look at Jeff go around 0:56. Where was this at? 

  • That's quite a cast of characters...thanks for the post.

    I just got hold (thanks to Emery Bailey's granddaughter, who I found out lives right near me in the Cleveland, Ohio area) of a recording of Bailey from the Library of Congress's American Folklife Center, and this tune is indeed called "Silver Lake." It must be Bailey's version of the tune, because the one at YouTube video t1E29rG_C6k is a bit different. In the recording, Bailey plays 4 tunes in this tuning (GDGC), and "Old Sledge," which Bailey says makes them sound more "natural."

    Thank you! I just heard from a lady in the Cleveland area named Evelyn, who found me online and told me that there are lots of Emery Bailey's family members living in the Cleveland/Youngstown area. Did you know that? They plan to come to our old-time jam session in Kent, Ohio on May 1 so we will do our best to play this tune for them. What, by the way, is the name of Emery Bailey's son who I hear is still an active fiddle player?

  • WHEW!!!!! So DAMN HONEST !!! Thanks Emory ...Thanks !!! The simplicity the - pulse how it grew from you.. AND the fact the center of the session was everywhere !

    

  • emery is the correct spelling. i am the daughter of his youngest son.

    Cool--you can thank Joe Thrift for keeping his tune alive. If you could find any recordings of Bailey in the family vault, would you please let me or Joe know? I think Joe is in touch with someone who knows Bailey's son, who is apparently still active as a fiddler. There are interesting mentions of Bailey as well in the books "Play of a Fiddle" and "Music in the Air Somewhere" (you can find them on Google Books); both books spell Bailey's first name "Emery"--is that incorrect?
