The One-Arm Fiddler  
It is hard to imagine a one-arm fiddler unless you can see in his eyes the determination to overcome. He is a winner, because he never says, "I quit." He never uses the words, "I can’t." He doesn’t know the word, "failed." He is a super-achiever in the face of heavy odds against him. It is his single-minded determination to succeed that makes him a model for all of us.

In our imaginations, when we begin to watch him play his fiddle, we sense that he moves to music we do not hear. We soon begin to move to the music he helps us hear. I appreciate the ONE-ARM FIDDLER as an over-comer, a true champion, and I love to imagine hearing him play his fiddle.

If you want to hear music played by the ONE-ARM FIDDLER, close your eyes and listen for ten seconds.

If you cannot hear his music, consider taking a course in "Imagining through Imagination" at a near-by junior college.

Besides his music, from time to time he also has good things to say. Sometimes people send the ONE-ARM FIDDLER things he enjoys sharing here. (See if you can tell the difference between what he says and what people say to him.)

Come here to read something from the ONE-ARM FIDDLER.

When a sixth-grader was asked what is the first thing to do when kissing a girl said, "Ask her to sit down."

"The road to success is always under construction."

A man was teaching his wife how to hunt deer. Thinking he had told her everything, he put her on a deer stand and took his stand. He heard a shot and came to see her deer. He heard a man saying, "Lady, you can have the deer, I just want my saddle off of it."

Little boy: "I hate girls. But if I ever quit hating girls, that blond over there is the first one I am going to quit hating."

Keep listening for the music of the ONE-ARM FIDDLER.
