Sample excerpt
Uncle Ray can't read a note and never needed to, tunes his fiddle by the way the room feels. Barn's been standing eighty years and leaning sixty, and Saturday it holds up just fine.
Swing 'em round and put 'em back! Nobody sits down till the fiddle says so. Old man's arm gives out before the crowd does, and even then he plays one more.
Workshop note — Third person into imperative, present, exuberant. The fiddle hoedown is dance instruction more than lyric: short calls, big vowels. At 148 BPM the fiddle carries the tune, so the voice enters only between breakdowns.
