Steve Martin: Comedian Takes Banjo Seriously : NPR Music

I've always liked Steve Martin. Granted, his recent movies have been utter shite, but at least he's now taking up his old hobby of playing the banjo. As a kid I found it to be the oddest thing to see a comedian playing an instrument, and not even that popular of one.

I saw him on Letterman the other night and he was quite good. Not that I'm a huge banjo fan, but if you've got all your teeth and have never had sex with your sister, I'll give you a listen. Acknowledging that the South lost the Civil War helps too.
