He seriously wanted to be known for something other than comedy. I love it.

I noticed the amount of people watching drops off after the end of the instrumental. You guys should keep watching... I have heard Grandmother's Song before, but it had lines in it I have not heard.

4:00 Steve is fantastic, but THE CROWD is also! " .. and suck aids!" (At this moment people were much more openminded in many ways, especially in humour)

The banjo is the offspring of a sitar mating with a mandolin.

Isn't this just amazing!

Tremendous!

Jeff Daniels played a song on guitar for Kelly Clarkson surprising everyone especially her. A commenter mentioned Steve Martin playing the banjo bringing me here instagram.com/p/C6ow_JkuPJG/c/18028468751017776/

Almost as fantastic an instrument as the bagpipes 🤓 Huge react . That laddie is a master of his craft …☀️🤗👍

❤ .

Crazy wild guy

He really draws the music out of it. It's beautiful.

That was amazing

HE SAYS, HOLD ON ...? I FOR GOT THE WORDS....?!!!!!!-

The US equivalent of Billy Connolly … give this laddie legend status ….

Now just Imagine if he was playing with Flatt and Scruggs

Words to live by....

The opening medley seems to start with Loch Lomond, and the third tune he segues into is Simple Gifts, but I can't make out the second tune, which he comes back to at the end. The melody is so familiar but I can't dredge it up.

This is the “Wild and Crazy Guy!!!”

I asked Alexa who was the best banjo player Steve Martin or George Siegel he was a very good banjo player also and she said Steve Martin well that's a good Plus for him I wish I could have seen George Siegel I don't know if my computer is spelling right. The actor not the karate Segal I think this one is spelled s e g e l George played for years on the weekends at the nightclub in Hollywood I wish I would have gone can't remember the name of nightclub.

Im not sure Ive ever known Steve Martin could play the banjo! Im really impressed!

Of course Harpo was talented Just great comedy

"Ring, ring the banjo!". Stephen Foster

I love the first part of this. I watch at least once a day. Love watching the fingering! Amazing!

And he wrote for The Smothers Brothers Show.

While I was working on the road, I was listening to a late night radio called "Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap." Randy recalled a time while they were on tour, they had a comedian who would go on stage before the performance and tell jokes. Randy went on to say that this guy would sit quietly behind stage before hand and practice the banjo..... "I wonder if Steve Martin remembers us?"

Steve Martin, keeping it classy since the ‘70’s.

He was raised a poor black child

Writer, actor, comedian, poet, banjo player. Is there anything this guy can't do?

This guy is soooooooooo talented.

Obsequious purple and clairvoyant. He’s a comic genius.

Im 34, just got a banjo for Xmas from my mother in-law, she's the fuckin best. I hope to be as good as Steve one day, probably won't happen tho. 😂 Maybe tho, ya never know. I have a 6 string guitar my late father gifted me as well I don't know how to play, maybe it's time I start taking lessons and make it mean something.

Saw him on the Let’s Get Small tour in St. Paul & obviously, he played this number 🪕

But I was seriously thinking about the Bigfoot I just don't feel like driving to see him

Dude at 34 looked like 44 already, damn!

I never knew he could do that👍👏👏

Funny how the crowd starts clapping like it's a hoedown and slowly quiet down as they realize they are being treated to some world class banjo. Also funny, I ended up whistling the Grandma song after. Surprisingly catchy...

Grandpaaaaaa... bought a rubber.

He's got too many teeth to play the banjo

Intense focus or what

I wonder why he was never on here or was he? He should have been a regular.

Beautiful!😊

Is the first bit Loch Lomond

Simple Gifts (Shaker hymn)

What an absolute legend 🤘🫡

Grest from Québec city

The first and only time we ever met was much like this moment. An arrow was going straight through your head. I sat in the audience mesmerized. What a talented, very strange young man. Oh, we were just kids then. Remember? Thank you for your life.

I've got HAPPY FEET!

100% 8-Track Banjo! ...

Do not use Coronado paint. Very poor performance for exterior even though it says "interior/exterior".
