I don't know what it is. I don't know if music ever did you that way. But I thought if somebody gets that big a kick out of my playing, maybe it's something that's worthwhile to do. The money, the awards, that junk's nice. But the magic, that's what keeps you playing. That's what never wears off." -Johnny Gimble "Owed to Johnny Gimble" There was a fiddler named Gimble Whose fingers were nimble To play all the licks and the trills. He could play Darling Nelly Or Stephan Grapelli Or tunes that were old as the hills.He smiled as he played Some old serenade And the music came up from his soul. You could hear the stars falling And the whippoorwill calling Whenever he picked up his bow. And the shuffling and sliding Of ghost dancers gliding On kitchen floors long ago. -Garrison Keillor "A Prairie Home Companion" |
