Fiddling Sam

There a guy with a fiddle in Tucson town Known by everyone for miles around He been around the corner, and back Eighty eight years old, and that’s a fact He’s stays active by riding his bike Seven plus miles is the ride he likes At fiddle events where Sam abides His wife, Georgia, is there at his side Long a member of Old Time Fiddlers And that’s the fiddle style he prefers Sam has a notebook in his pocket With the fiddling dates on his docket It was at the first Dove Mountain Jam That I first saw this Old Fiddling Sam Knew right away Sam’s a real showman Watching Sam perform was an omen We’ve played lots of music together At many jams in all kinds of weather We’re even members of the same band And that experience has been grand Now Sam and I are very good friends A close friendship that will see no end You’ll never heard a musical yarn Like Sam singing, “Out Behind The Barn”
