SALMONS, ANN; SALMONS, STEW

Ann and Stew Salmons operated the Ken-Mill bar in Cincinnati. The house band was Earl Taylor and the Stoney Mountain Boys, who played six nights a week. When bluegrass bands were in town to record at King Records, Stew and Ann would often book them to play at the Ken-Mill. Mac McDivitt recalls seeing the Stanley Brothers there. After leaving the Ken-Mill, they operated the Minute Man on North Bend Road, where Earl Taylor and Jim McCall appeared.
