[Dixielandjazz] Who Needs A Drummer?

[Daniel Augustine]

     Well, at least it doesn't turn the beat around.
     But, come to think of it, if we allow this, the bass-player  
might be next . . .

As you can see, John asked me to forward this. It is really a lot of  
fun. We need the tractor for our gigs, too, particularly for Bye, Bye  
Blues!

The piano may do for lovesick girls who lace themselves to skeletons,  
and lunch on chalk, pickles, and slate pencils. But give me the  
banjo... When you want genuine music—music that will come right home  
to you like a bad quarter, suffuse your system like strychnine  
whiskey…ramify your whole constitution like the measles, and break  
out on your hide like the pin-feather pimples on a picked goose—when  
you want all this, just smash your piano, and invoke the glory- 
beaming banjo!
~ Mark Twain, Early Tales and Sketches, Vol 2 (1864-65)
