I almost forgot today's National Banjo Day, so here's Steve Martin on The Muppet Show (Wayback in 1977). Performing "Dueling Banjos" with a jug band.

That is probably the least silver I've ever seen his hair.

His album Rare Bird Alert has some great banjo in it. I like the song "Hide behind a Rock", no lyrics a good song

I always loved Steve Martin's career path. Make a couple great movies here and there but mostly play the banjo and fuck with martin short

He'll be glad to have the banjo to fall back on when this whole comedy thing doesn't work out +1

I just saw them about a week and a half ago for the second time. They're fantastic live, and I'd recommend everyone go see them if possible

Interesting fact, The Muppet Show was filmed entirely at Elstree Studios in England. The same studio that filmed Star Wars and Raiders of the lost ark.

Seeing the dancing platform bouncing now has me wondering what's constructed underneath that we can't see...

That couldn't have been all that long after the release of Deliverance, given Steve's hair ain't all white yet.

He wasn't in Deliverance, what am I missing?

the tune was. Oscar in 74. Prolly on late night cable in 74 -75, antenna heavily edited in 76 allowing pop culture notoriety such as to feature on the muppets in 77

Yeah and Steve has had white hair since early 80s, possibly earlier.
