Hmmm....
There's also ample folksong evidence for men whose "fiddle" works like a charm. As in these verses from "Wild Rippling Waters," collected by one of the Lomaxes in Texas.

Well they hadn't been there but an hour or so,
When out of his satchel come a fiddle and bow,
And the tune that he played seemed to make the woods ring,
Hark, Hark, said the lady, hear the nightingales sing!

And now, my pretty lady, it's time to give o'er
Oh no, handsome cowboy, play just one tune more,
For I'd rather hear your fiddle, just the touch of one string,
Than see the waters glide and head the nightingales sing.
