Mark Twain
M.T. is often quoted with the following sentence:
"A gentleman is a man who knows how to play the banjo, and doesn't!"
Shame on him for this!
But I could not find the novel, short, storie or letter where he REALLY writes this. On the contrary it is said that this quote is used with lots of instruments, not only banjo. So may be he was a good American - and loved banjo?
Don´t know.
But I promise a free mp3 of me playing "Cripple Creek" to the first person who can authenticate this quotation to me. Guaranteed!
PS
May this promise could be a reason not to call for this give-away?
