Old Fiddle

This isn't a phone call from anyone I could put a name to but strange none the less. On February 19th last year, I was talking to my husband (name is Roy) in the kitchen and was telling him of a conversation I had with a work colleague earlier that day. To cut a long story short, she was joking telling me that Roy was nearly a geriatric. I was about to phone her that evening Roy said when you speak to her tell her that 'Many a new tune is played on an old fiddle'. But at first he kept mixing the words e.g. 'Many an old tune is played on a new fiddle'. Anyway when I tried to phone her the line was engaged. I went back into the kitchen and the phone started to ring. When I answered I could hear muffled talking in the background. I was about to hang up when this male voice said. 'Roy, No that's not what Roy said. What Roy said was 'There's many a new tune played on an old fiddle.' Then the line went dead. How could this have possibly happened? I am still baffled.
