FYI Twain's voice was recorded at various times, at various places, under various circumstances. I am convinced there are some recordings that still survive. It is entirely possible a collector has a recording (or two) but is maintaining a secret. Notice: Please contact me whenever a possible recording of Twain's voice appears!!! Recently the first letter Twain dictated to a graphophone came to light. Twain said, "This is my first experiment in dictating a letter to a graphophone, and I am thoroughly delighted with it. I shall never have to use the slow & tedious pen again." Surely if this letter can remain a secret for 100 years then other important discoveries regarding Twain's voice are lying in wait. Hopefully it is just a matter of time before we get to actually hear him. Currently I am working with Ron Hoodak of Elmira (and other scholars) to map out Mark Twain's DNA. Some day perhaps the world will even experience a clone of him... Bob Slotta
