N:Ed took one of his favorite reels (McKenna's)
N:and changed it into his extraordinary little jig.
N:Any musician who has tried this feat knows how
N:frustrating it can be. I'm reminded of a story
N:once of one who tried to change a tune and failed.
N:All too quick to take credit for his own
N:latest "improvement" of an old tune, our would-be
N:composer waited anxiously for the praise he
N:so confidently expected. A crafty old judge of
N:tunes himself was only too happy to deliver the
N:final judgment:
N:Son, if you left out what you put in
N:and put back in what you left out,
N:it'd be a good tune.
