My mother and dad played the fiddle and the guitar.
My mum worked in a grocery shop and played football, and my dad worked with cars, a sales director, and he played to almost a professional level. His dad played as well.
All my momma's people were very musical. My grandpa, who was the Pentecostal minister, he was a great musician. He played the fiddle, he played the piano.
My mom was sort of involved in amateur dramatics like Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, and played the violin. My dad played banjo and piano and sang as well, so there was all this music in my childhood.
My father played fiddle and the accordion.
My dad played football - and tennis as well - and so did my brothers. My dad was chairman of our local club, Spartans, for a while. But back when I was a boy, people didn't think of football as a career.
I always loved the guitar, from when I was quite little. My dad had a G banjo at the house that he played. When he had parties, my sisters always played piano, and my dad played banjo.
Those who refuse to play second fiddle may wind up playing no fiddle at all.
I've never played for my dad. I played against my dad actually in high school. That was fun, but he taught me how to play the game the right way. Respect the game, give it all you've got and regardless of what happens, have no regrets.
This is a fantasy fiddle tune. The part you fantasize is the fiddle.
Well my dad was a pretty good player at one stage and my two older brothers played golf as well. So there were always golf clubs flying around the house.
My focus on the budget, though, has played second fiddle to what I believe is even more important - creating jobs.
Yeah, I was a pretty good kid, you know, I was - I was- I was an overachiever and I worked very hard, played a hell of a fiddle.
I know if I have played well or badly. I always ask my dad, and he tells me straight.
The Democrats planned to fiddle while Rome burned. The Republicans were going to burn Rome, then fiddle.
The second fiddle. I can get plenty of first violinists, but to find someone who can play the second fiddle with enthusiasm
