Thank you, Steve Martin

This is ‘She’s Gone’ from his musical Bright Star with Edie Brickell. I’ve had the pleasure to play the role twice in Canada. It’s played much slower in the musical but dang it’s pretty regardless

Steve Martin, one of the funniest men of all time.

Steve Martin, became a comedian until he could afford to be a full time banjo player.

A wild and crazy guy, who plays great banjo.

Steve Martin is one hell of a comedian for a banjo player

I saw Steve play the banjo at my college here in Colorado, back in 1974, 50 years ago. Holy cow, how time flies!😊

A man of many talents, for sure. Love to hear him play banjo.

[ursafan]

His banjo skills are no joke.
Man can play

I loved how it started dark and conflicted then ultimately resolved into peace, like a person deciding to be at peace with themselves. ❤

I miss the 80's...this man along with John Candy, Dan Arkryod, Chevy Chase...made me smile when i was just a kid. Three Amigos!!! NEVER gets old. Spies like us... :)

The older I get the more bluegrass banjo intertwines with my soul. Thank you for sharing.

This is how you play banjo.

Everyone always sticks to old Appalachia style when this instrument has much more range. Hearing the overlapping notes gives it so much depth, almost like hearing more than one instrument.

This particular piece really gives you the feel you're traveling with hope, love it.

Beautiful bittersweet piece. Respect for Steve.

Steve is just THE man. A national treasure.

Martin has the amazing ability to create tunes that are fresh and thought inspiring.. while honoring the roots of this great music.

[mrDCunningham]

Whoever this guy is he can sure play a nice touch clawhammer. I hope he makes it BIG someday.

I've always admired you and your banjo playing, stand up routines, acting. You are wonderful, Steve Martin!

"It is said, that as we lay on our death beds not long for this world, one perceives a mighty host of angels descending, bathed in gloriously brilliant white light, approaching to carry us home, and all the while, unspeakably beautiful music is heard...  

I'd accept just ONE angel, and THIS song."

Steve, from one old Douglas D. disciple to another; you really touched me with this post. Mike

Lovely. Saw Steve in concert in Washington DC I think in 1987, it was a great banjo show. Nice to see him still at it.

[practicalwerewolf]

Yes to this! Much needed smile put on my face. Thanks Steve 🤍

He is so completely underappreciated as a musician. Comic genius sure, but a thoroughly dedicated, hard-working craftsman as a musician. He's been honing his craft over a lifetime and it shows. Just wonderful to listen to. 👍👍👏
