I could never forget Steve Martin's banjo skills, but I'd completely forgotten about the Rock Bottom Remainders!

I am glad to see that he has found his "special purpose"!

"I get paid for doing this!"

Nice to know Steve Martin is still crazy after all these years.

Never forget when he appeared on the Muppets playing the banjo and creating balloon animals.

Way to ruin your sound tech's day, Steve Martin!

Just kidding.
That was great. Thanks, Ze.

Any one know what this song is called and whether or not it is an original piece. Huge fan of bluegrass...

"We play music as well as Metallica writes novels." -Dave Barry

If that is the case, I would love to read a Metallica book after watching this.

This makes it almost possible to forgive him for the "Cheaper By The Dozen" movies!

I used to pretend that in another dimension, Steve Martin was my dad. He's so cool.

Is it true he was a philosopher, then had a nervous breakdown, and overnight, his hair went white?

Hmmm.... which members of the RBR are up there? I know their books but not their faces! It's Dave Barry on the left, I'm pretty sure...
