Fiddle? He was more likely to have played bagpipes. Which is just exponentially funnier to me for some reason
Well, he certainly didn't fiddle, since the violin wasn't invented for another thousand years. Supposedly in the original accounts it was a cithara or lyre. It also doesn't help that he was over 30 miles away when it started, and personally coordinated the firefighting efforts when he did finally arrive.
