Steve Martin taught himself to play the banjo when he was in high school, and often incorporated it into his — now long-abandoned — stand-up comedy act. Though he walked away from stand-up in the early 1980s, he has continued playing the banjo. In 2002 he won the Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance along with Earl Skruggs and Company.
Below is a video of Steve playing The Crow with Tony Trischka and Béla Fleck on The Late Show with David Letterman. This sounds an awful lot like Nickel Creek, don’t you think?
You can download The Crow from Amazon.com’s mp3 download service for 89 cents.
