GRAND RIVER WHISKEY. American, Reel (cut or 2/4 time). D Major. AEae tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Grand River Whiskey" is from the repertoire of Canton, northwest Georgia, fiddler Alfonzo Ellis "Fonzy" Kennemur (1918-1991), who was recorded in the field by Tom Schaffer (the Kennemur spelling of his name, sometimes given as 'Kennemer', is engraved on his gravestone). Kennemur was a sometimes contestant at the Fiddler's Grove (N.C.) and Galax (Va.) festivals (coming in 3rd place in the over-50 category at the 1971 Fiddler's Grove contest, and 2nd place the following year). See "Humpback Mule" for a similar first (coarse) strain.
