The "short guy with the goofy hair," the guy on the right, is Earl Scruggs. He INVENTED this style of picking--called "Scruggs style." He wrote this tune--a variation from "Blue Grass Breakdown." He is the banjo player to whom all other banjo players, before and since, will be compared.

I have NEVER liked Paul Shaffer. He isn't funny (although he thinks he is) and I can't stand the way he plays the piano (and I do enjoy listening to a good piano player, regardless of the type of music). He made an ass of himself as usual trying to upstage some real great musicians. What a nut sack!!!!

I think its great Steve Martin can play banjo in case the comedy thing doesn't work out he'll have something to fall back on.

Bluegrassers are an uptight bunch!

What Paul did was great... he mimicked the Bluegrass banjo on the piano which is something you don't hear. I liked his performance a lot.

WOW! WHAT AN HONOR FOR STEVE MARTIN TO PLAY W/ THE GREATS!!!!

Amen on the "Scruggs style." It's 3 finger pickin'!
