- Assertion
- Breaks can differ between fiddle tunes and songs: a common jam saying holds that in a fiddle tune you play the tune, while in a song you play to the harmony rather than the melody; Newton notes this is not universal, but that playing to the chords is far more common in songs.
- Quote
when you take a break in a fiddle tune, you play the tune, but when you take a break in a song, you don’t play the tune
