Best Answer

The legendary origin of the phrase "Please don't shoot the piano player; he's doing the best he can" attributes Oscar Wilde's tour of the American West, during which he was alleged to have seen such a printed notice in a saloon in Leadville. Although widely quoted, Oscar Wilde consistently denied seeing such a warning.
