I’m not sure how many of youse still watch the David Letterman program nightly, but Thursday’s episode of Late Show featured a great triple-banjo performance by Bela Fleck, Tony Trischka and…Steve Martin. In HD, no less.

That’s fucking badass. Watch it quick before Viacom calls YouTube and makes them forcibly pull it down like a freshman’s pants at a frat party.

thats awesome…whats the story behind that?
Click the related story…Martin wrote that tune for a banjo duet disc for Trischka, and as we may or may not know, Trischka taught Bela how to play banjo. This wasn’t the first time these three have collaborated, though I’m sure it’s the first time on public airwaves.
Excellent, I saw this was happening but missed it of course… thanks HT!
so steve martin is going to stay that color 😛
HE HATES THESE CANS
