Mark Twain

This year is one hundred removed from his passing.

CT is rich with his former presence and work.

You are very right. I can attest to his saying (and I will probably not get it 100% accurate) but the "worst winter I spent was July in San francisco"

He was awesome and I used to snicker like a brat at the Hal Holbrook one man show.

It is on now, and man does that guy work hard at the long and unforgiving performance. Very cool.

Scouring Twain and CT produces so much I will be reading and drinking beer for the foreseeable decade...

Just heard: Man stands somewhere "between the Angels and the French"

"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
