Will,
Fiddle player extaordinaire Kevin Burke used to tell a story of when he first started playing in London nearly forty years ago.
He was taught a rather difficult tune by an elderly fiddle player and he worked at till he finally mastered it. Every time they met, the old man asked him to play it, which rather pleased him, but it happened so often that one night Kevin asked him why he always requested it.
"You'll play it till you get the ******* thing right", was the reply.
