- Statement by Vess
L. Ossman to the Editor of "The Cadenza" magazine -
August 8, 1901:
-
- "The banjo
will live and become more popular every year, even if the whole
world takes to golf and other games.
- Banjo music
is to the ear what the sun breaking through the clouds on a dark
day is to the eye;
- And to my mind
there is nothing to replace the good, clean, clear tones of the
banjo.
- This in defense
of the banjo from one who loves the instrument."

complete letter as it appeared in The Cadenza magazine (pdf)
