  1. The Priest and the Fiddler

    Share Share Post
    One Sunday a priest was walking around outside the church making the people go inside so he came to this man and he knew he was a stranger and asked him what was his profession so the man opened his coat and showed him the fiddle so the priest asked him was he a catholic and he said he was so he asked him could he say the Apostles Creed and the old man said there are so many different names for tunes in the different counties if you whistle a few bars I might be able to play it.
