Steve Martin - the Musician?

If you have never heard comedian Steve Martin play the banjo than you have been missing something special.  He is playing here with Bela Fleck and Tony Trischoka (among others) on David Letterman in 2007 a song entitled, The Crow.

Martin is not just a comedian and actor, he also is an incredible musician.  This should put a smile on your face and a skip in your step.  Very good!

On that note, I also found this incredibly funny song with Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers as they perform at Merlefest in 2010.  The name of the song is Atheist Have No Songs. 

For the record, Martin was born in Waco, Texas and his family was Baptist but his upbringing found him seldom, if ever, in church. A friend who wrote an autobiography of him claims he is an Agnostic at best.  He has married twice and had a few known romances as many in Hollywood do.  An interesting, yet sad to me note, is that he has never had children.  Interesting personality, this Steve Martin.
