"Mountain Heritage" says:""Fiddler" Shade Slone was a colorful Mountaineer with an inherent music ability, who rightfully earned his nickname which has persisted through each generation of his descendants. Apparently age hampered neither Shade's love for the fiddle nor his skill with his beloved instrument, for it has been said that he played with continued zest far into his elderly years.......Shade fathered children by other women
