Sometimes I sit and wish, "If only I were Steve Martin." There is nothing he can’t do! This man of many talents is best known for his comedy, but also has dashing good looks, fantastic acting abilities, and witty writing skills to boot. It’s probably not news to you that his brilliance doesn’t even stop there. He is one wicked good banjo player.
Early this year, Martin released his first album of music, "The Crow: New Songs for the Five-String Banjo," featuring country artist cameos, including Dolly Parton and Vince Gill. I’d never hope for him to give up his career in comedy, but bluegrass is most definitely the man’s second calling (if not, forgive me for saying, the first).
Martin is scheduled to play a show at Seattle’s Benaroya Hall at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 3. Tickets are $55-$75 through Ticketmaster, and go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. Saturday. He’s also slated for a Nov. 2 performance at Spokane’s Martin Woldson Theater, but no word yet on ticket information for that one.

I do like Steve Martin and would like to listen to this but my computer won't open it up. Please excuse my language, but this $#%&^** satellite service is NOT fiber. I'd sign up with anyone who'd give us real hi-speed. We love blue grass and banjo. I might have to go out and actually BUY this.

Hi Joanne. Try taking this bandwidth speed test and let me know what you have for a connection speed:

My speed is 603.1 kbps, not the fastest on the block, but plenty fast for YouTube music files. If your speed isn't the problem, then maybe you need to download a program that will allow you to open and play the music files.
