Fiddle Tunes

Famous quotes containing the words fiddle and/or tunes:

“If you love music, hear it; go to operas, concerts and pay fiddlers to play to you; but I insist on your neither piping nor fiddling yourself. It puts a gentleman in a very frivolous, contemptible light.... Few things would mortify me more than to see you bearing a part in a concert, with a fiddle under your chin, or a pipe in your mouth.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

“The age of a woman doesn’t mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.”
—Sigmund Z. Engel (b. 1869)
