"Sally Johnson", also known as "Katy Hill", is an old-time breakdown from Virginia, Kentucky, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia, Missouri and Iowa in G Major. The parts are played AB (Silberberg) or AABB (Brody, Phillips, Thede). The title is often confused with "Sally Ann Johnson", a different tune altogether in the same key. "Sally Johnson" is almost identical with the tune "Katy Hill", at least in modern versions. Drew Beisswenger points to similarities with "Ladies on a Steamboat", Marion Thede (1967), who collected in the Midwest, says: "One of the fiddlers learned the strains of 'Sally Johnson' in 1884 from a man of seventy who first learned it as a child of ten. It was a well-known tune during his childhood and today nearly all fiddlers still play this tune". "Sally Johnson" was recorded for the Library of Congress by folklorist/musicologist Vance Randolph from Ozarks Mountains fiddlers in the early 1940's. Although associated in more recent times with Midwest and Southwest fiddlers, it was not exclusive to those regions. Georgia fiddler Lowe Stokes recorded it in 1930 and the Kentucky/Tennessee duo of fiddler Leonard Rutherford and guitarist John Foster recorded it for Gennett Records in 1929. It was printed in Beisswenger & McCann's Ozarks Fiddle Music (2008), Brody's Fiddler’s Fakebook (1983), Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1 (1994), Silberberg's Tunes I Learned at Tractor Tavern (2002) and Thede's The Fiddle Book (1967). It was recorded by Lowe Stokes, Eck Robertson on Eck Robertson: Famous Cowboy Fiddler, The Lewis Brothers on Texas Farewell, Solomon, Solomon and Hughes on Texas Farewell, Lowe Stokes on Georgia Fiddle Bands, Clark Kessinger on The Legend of Clark Kessinger (appears as "Sally Ann Johnson"), Soloman and Hughes on Texas Fiddle Bands (1998), The Dillards with Byron Berline on Pickin' and Fiddlin, The McGee Brothers and Arthur Smith on Milk ‘Em in the Evening Blues (1968), Michael & McCreesh on Dance Like a Wave of the Sea (1978), Burnett and Rutherford (1929), Lazy Aces on New York City's 1st Annual String Band Contest - November 1984, The Lazy Aces on Still Lazy after all These Years (1986), Pete McMahon on Kansas City Rag, Mark O'Connor on National Junior Fiddle Champion, Dwight Lamb on Hell Agin the Barn Door (2005), Jim Herd on Traditional Fiddle Music of the Ozarks, vol. 3 (2000), Eck Robertson (78 RPM) and Benny & Jerry Thomasson on The Weiser Reunion (1993).
