The Blues

8-yr-old girl.  We were looking at a new piece, called "I Got Those Fiddle Blues".

Girl: What does the name mean?
Me: I was just about to ask you!  Do you know what it means if you have the blues?
Girl: Um, you go blue in the face?
Me [laughing]: Ah, no.  Well, probably not.  If you have the blues then you're a bit sad, so when you play this piece it should sound a bit sad, too.
