I have learned that there lies dormant in the souls of all men a penchant for some particular musical instrument, and an unsuspected yearning to learn to play on it, that are bound to wake up and demand attention some day. Therefore, you who rail at such as disturb your slumbers with unsuccessful and demoralizing attempts to subjugate a fiddle, beware! for sooner or later your own time will come.
-Mark Twain
“Jack, you were so far out of tune, the fiddle player noticed”.
-A guy I worked for in a band
Whenever I think of Mark Twain I remember his saying with “It’s easy to quit smoking, I’ve done it myself 100 times already!” ;-)
By the way, I don’t smoke, but it amuses me every time I remember this.
I have three books from the library about learning the same cursed devil’s box.
May the Schwartz be with you.
I always picture Mark Twaine as a frustrated didgeridoo player. It somehow makes all those books he wrote more meaningful.

You have forever changed my perception of the Bard of Missouri.
