The difference is in how you play it. If you play classical music, you call it a violin. If you play folk music, you call your violin a fiddle. But now, I yearn to master my string instrument … to hold its curved body between my chin and chest, and gently glide the soft horsehair bow over the cool, metal strings.

The fiddle speaks to me with a siren call, making me feel delirious and desirous, like all the dark, cramped crevices deep inside me—the forgotten masses—have been awakened, bathed in sunlight and reborn.
I know that my year-old boyfriend understands this feeling. His golden voice has the same affect on audiences all over the world—men and women in equal measure.
