You are walking down the sidewalk downtown and you meet a friend –“How’s it going, John?” you ask. “Fair to middling”, he responds. I know you have heard that phrase for a long time, but do you know for sure what it actually means? Or, from where did it originate?

So, what is the difference between this musical instrument of four strings called either a violin or a fiddle? They appear to be identical in physical appearance, and they sound the same regardless of whether being played by a male or female, professional musician, or an amateur.

I was a wakened by a strange sound. It sounded like banging and yelling and scratching.
