My Revered Uncle:
Now is it possible! Have you gone off the handle too? I have never printed a word about your staements on the banjo. You are quoting what the reporter said I did!
I have always answered all questions about the Remus-Banjo Imbroglio that Remus was R.I.G.H.T. The fiddle is the favorite instrument of the negro throughout as many of the southern states as I have any knowledge of.
The negros were very fond of The banjo in Louisiana & I believe never used the violin with their African dances.
So Long. Yours Truly
