A
fiddle tune is a melody that once you hear it, you can't seem to get it out of
your head until you can grab your banjo and learn it yourself.
A
fiddle tune is a living cord connecting us back to long ago generations, to feel
deep in ourselves just a fragment of feeling transmitted from across the ages
by some plain common folk, our ancestors otherwise long forgotten.
A
fiddle tune is a kind of tune that has a lot of music concentrated in just a little
bit of space, and in that respect it is to notes what poetry is to words.
A
good fiddle tune you can play for a very long time and not get tired of it.
A
good fiddle tune is a tune that you can never quite play the same way twice, even
when you want to.
A
good fiddle tune will bring two or more people together who might otherwise be
enemies.
Fiddle
tunes all pretty much sound the same, except they all sound different when you
finally hear them.
A
good fiddle tune will always be remembered by somebody.
…and
a good fiddle tune will make you forget, for just an instant, that man is born
to die.
