Jammin' by Donna Hébert Don't be afraid Just let go Take a deep breath and look into each other's eyes Friend and peer Equals Tuck your fiddles and raise your bows ready to share music conversation without words Enter the sound Let its will guide yours Swing on the groove Hand it back and forth Magic carpet ride Roller coaster tune A journey round your ears and every so often, your eyes - softly shut to better hear the music in your head - open wide, and you catch a through-the-looking-glass glimpse of another soul © 1996-2002 Donna Hébert Donna Hébert is a New England contradance and Franco-American fiddler and teacher whose essays and poetry about the experience of making music have been published in SING OUT! Magazine, Fiddler Magazine, Country Dance and Song, The Old Time Herald, and Strings Magazine. She also edits "The Muse of Joy and Sorrow: why we play the fiddle."
