You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 184.73.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:41, 2 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Floyd Holmes''' (March 6, 1910 – January 1, 1970), better known as '''Salty Holmes''', was an American [[country music]]ian, [[harmonica]] player and [[B movies (Hollywood Golden Age)#Cowboys and dogsmovie|Western B-movie]] [[actor]].

==Biography==
Holmes was born in [[Glasgow, Kentucky]]. He became a [[virtuoso]] on the [[harmonica]], specializing in the style known as "talking harp" which imitated the human voice (much like [[Sonny Terry]]). He also played the [[jug (musical instrument)|jug]] and guitar. He formed the group The Kentucky Ramblers in 1930, who changed their name to The Prairie Ramblers in 1933 and began broadcasting on [[Chicago]] radio station [[WLS (AM)|WLS-AM]] with new vocalist [[Patsy Montana]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/patsy-montana-mn0000015122/biography|title=Patsy Montana &#124; Biography & History|website=[[AllMusic]]| access-date=20 September 2023))</ref> They continued performing and recording under this name until 1952, playing country, [[hillbilly music]], [[gospel music|gospel]], and pop songs. They were the backing group on Montana's platinum hit "[[I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart]]". Group members included Jack Taylor on bass, Chick Hurt on [[mandolin]], and Alan Crocket and, later, Tex Atchison on fiddle. They made over 100 recordings between 1933 and 1940, including as [[session musician]]s.

The Prairie Ramblers have been called a "hot string band"<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.bear-family.com/monroe-bill-1936-1949-6-cd.html|title=Bill Monroe 1936-1949 (6-CD)|website=Bear-family.com|accessdate=January 16, 2020))</ref> and "a hot fiddler band".<ref>Rosenberg & Wolfe, p. 9</ref> Both their "aggressive rhythms" and Chick Hurt's mandolin playing inspired [[Bill Monroe]],a mandolin virtuoso who is regarded as the "father of [[bluegrass music|bluegrass]]".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170301180435/http://nodepression.com/album-review/bill-monroe-blue-moon-kentucky-1936-1949] ((dead link|date=August 2021))</ref>

While a member of the Prairie Ramblers, Holmes befriended [[Gene Autry]], who invited him to [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]] to star in [[western film|Western]]s in 1936 and 1944; among the films Holmes appeared in are ''[[Arizona Days (1937 film)|Arizona Days]]'' and ''[[Saddle Leather Law]]''. In a scene of ''Arizona Days'', Holmes played two harmonicas using his mouth and nose. The Prairie Ramblers also backed Autry on some of his recordings in the 1930s.

He collaborated with [[Jean Chapel]] as Mattie & Salty, playing regularly on the ''[[Grand Ole Opry]]''; the two married in 1947 and divorced in 1956 and had two daughters named Barbara Holmes Hale and Lana (Chapel) who was part of their act as a young child.
