Paintings with music theme
A more beautiful instrument has never been
designed. The golden hues of the wood grow
mellower and deeper with age. The curves are
both provocative and engaging. And the
sound . . . it can weep, shout with joy, laugh
with abandon, sing with pride. The fiddle is
perfection of design.
It’s don’t matter time of day,
the music’s got a pull,
like the gravity, man.
It don’t know
no time or place.
You play . . . because
if you don’t . . . you aren’t.

Hands dance wildly with heat and sticks.
Playing on the edge.
Drives your beating heart.
Big,
wiley arms wrap about you.

The Fiddler reaches that ideal condition of harmony, oneness with his muse. In a state of freedom from pain, worry, angst. Freedom to follow the rhythm of the strings.
In recognition of Sonny Boy Williamson, Walton Horton, James Cotton, Junior Wells, John Mayall and all the pioneers of the blues harmonica. No more soulful sound could be so visceral as the Blues harmonica.
