Live Music Three Banjos on Letterman, Tomorrow

[John R]

On Thursday, April 26, "modern master of the banjo" (New York Times) Tony Trischka will join fellow five-stringers - actor/comedian Steve Martin and Bela Fleck - for a rare performance on The Late Show with David Letterman. The three players will perform the Steve Martin penned instrumental "The Crow," from Trischka's critically acclaimed new album, Double Banjo Bluegrass Spectacular.

will you remind us tomorrow and give us the time and channel for letterman? I would love to see it, even if it is after my bedtime.

We have stupid DISH network, and therefore no CBS, so no banjo for us. Can somebody TIVO or DVR it?

 

[Smiling JOe]

maybe I can take some notes and come over the following day and demonstrate their performance. :funn:

OK- let me find my Steve Martin arrow-through-the head (I really have one- it was my dad's! ), and you can wear that while playing.:funn:

now, you know i'm forced to posit an old musical pondering point here: "what's the nicest compliment one can offer a banjo player?"
