This is not fair to Steve. Instead the headline should read Steve Martin is branching out and reviveing his love for the Banjo. I saw that stupid interview where David had this strange well what else can ya do attitude… Like I have said before, Banjo players get no respect. Half the world has a very stereotyped view of such a cool instrument… makes me mad…
I think Steve should drop the funny stuff and just play.
And folks should stop thinking hes gonna try to be funny. Sign o the times IMO…
Although come on, the arrow thing would just send me into a stinkin spewin laughin frenzy…
I think whoever wrote that article understood that…that whole site is filled fake stories like that relating to bluegrass people. And I do think that Martin is a banjo player that doesnt need comedy however i wonder if he would get to play with guys like trishka and fleck if he didnt get famous as an actor…just something to think about
Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood are in the area: St. Paul on the 18th Omaha on the 19th and Denver on the 21st…Lets see some Telluride on the 20th…anybody with me?
You know, I must have spent at least 5 minutes looking at that, thinking about whether it required an apostrophe or not… :rolleyes
I guess I was asking for it, what with my know it all Frenchie attitude… :lol :lol :lol :lol
Praying for some Allison Kraus and Robert Plant, Tony Furtado, Steve Martin, Government Mule, Ricky Skaggs, Darrell Scott and/or Leftover Salmon.
But if we’re thinking bigger, The Dead are touring again :festivarian
Please no. Clapton will mean the rest of the band. The rest of the band means Doyle Bramhall IIIrd. Winwood /Clapton as a duo I’d happily sit through. In fact, Stevie Winwood singing the Yellow Pages would keep me happy.
John Hiatt was supposed to be available about this time.
