Fiddlers

The opportunities of man are limited only by his imagination. But so few have imagination that there are ten thousand fiddlers to one composer. - Charles Kettering



How to tell if you should be a fiddler or composer? Its like the old mule skinner when asked how to tell if a mule should be ridden or packed. "You ride 'em. If they buck you off, you pack 'em."



Give composing your best shot, if it doesn't work then fiddle. There is no shame in fiddling but there is shame in not composing if you can.
