"If I have all the works of Bach and Hayden in my head and am able to say the cleverest things about them it does no one a particle of good. But if I pick up my tin whistle and play a lively shimmy, the shimmy may be good or bad but in either case it gives people pleasure; it goes to their legs and blood. That's what counts."
