One of my pianos is a Knabe grand from the 1920s with an Ampico electric player unit. I've got a roll Gershwin cut that actually sounds like Gershwin playing - but for some reason when I do it, it doesn't sound like Gershwin. <s>

This one isn't mine but is very similar.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
