Tony Trischka with Steve Martin & Bela Fleck - Letterman Greenroom

[JimmyDeLocke]

Yeah, there's Steve Martin, Tony T. and who's that other guy on the left?

It's only the world's greatest banjo player, Bigfoot Himself.

[BANJBOB1]

not to mention bela of corse lol!

[angusbeef365]

Three of the best banjo players of all time playing together, this is fucking awesome.

[banjoman1437]

man i would love to have them at my house for a party, that would be the best

[thompsonlake]

i saw him when we were both very small......

[OzzyCoop]

Steve worked at Disney Land as a street performer. He also wrote for The Smothers Brothers at the start. What cant this guy do? He is awesome.

[badmuthahubbard]

I don't know. Finger shadows, balloon animals, juggling, cheerleading... I think he's pretty much got it all covered!

[amilimax]

i chatted with him and his whole band at a festival one time. it was cool.

[patton303]

Steve Martin is one of my heroes.

Not that anybody asked.

;7

[EXRazeBurn]

If I'm not mistaken, this song is called "The Crow" and was composed by Steve Martin himself.

Is there anything in the entertainment industry this man doesn't excel at?

:3

[piperpig]

Making balloon animals.

Wait, he does that, too!

Guess you're right.

[xXMnMXx]

and he's a magician

[empiremonkey]

Being able to play banjo after being shot in the head with an arrow is an admirable skill, I think!

[CRAWF0RDBURNS1]

Like these three need to rehearse anything...They could play any song on the fly and make it sound like a masterpiece!

[traildust32]

I second that!

[artisticbend]

For the benefit of us Bluegrass newbies... What is the name of the song please?

:)

Really nice piece.

[toddspire]

Song is "The Crow" from Grammy Nominated Tony Trischka album, Double Banjo Bluegrass Spectacular.

[MrJnobianchi]

@toddspire And Steve wrote it, one of many he's written.

[joelmull]

@artisticbend "The Crow" - Steve Martin wrote it.

[youngsinfo]

Really nice!

[BLASTFREEZER]

Of all Martin-Trischka videos here I've seen so far, this one has superior sound. Thank you, Steve, for introducing us newbies to double-C tuning. And also for May, 2007 Tab of the Month (of the Year, I'd say!) in Banjo Newsletter.

[BLASTFREEZER]

I did it again, didn't I? Tony the credit for the tab is yours. Steve Martin gave permission and contributed to the transcribing.

[11Buckethead11]

ahh, magical !

[giggleblaggle]

Steve plays the song in double C tuning, but I think Bela and Tony play it in standard G tuning. This song is the best.

[Towndrunk26er]

Cool post.

[yabastard]

We need more backstage moments like this.  Sweet!

[4L60E]

Man that was just great!!!

[Zydecobel]

So cool to see them in the green room! Like a backstage pass.

[carteru93]

Yup!
