I dated a fat guy when I was in college and he was sexy. (He was a bass player.) I think John Goodman is sexy too. It's an attitude.

Of course I am biased but I think the fiddle is sexiest! Primarily because it can "say" a lot of different things, bring forth a plethora of emotions. But I have to tell you, everytime I play in public, I get a throng of men following me around. Sometimes it's amusing, sometimes not. Once I had a solo gig (without Mister) and one bloke was downright annoying. I told my teacher that if I had known the fiddle was going to give me such power over men, I might have picked it up long ago!

But then again, perhaps it was a good thing that I waited till after I was married........

I think another part of the fiddle's intrigue, for me anyway, is its age-old reputation as the Devil's Box. (If anyone can splain to me exactly WHY the fiddle was the devil's instrument, I'd appreciate it.)However, I prefer to think of it as the Angels' Strings. For me it really is a gift from God.
