if anyone remembers 'The Smothers Brothers Show' back in the '60s Steve got his start there with another country picker named Glen Campbell.


As in Scottish Glen Campbell?

CC, Glen Travis Campbell, didn't know he was a Scot, I voted for Alex as the greatest Scot, but for album sales it could be Glen in absentia [sic].

Glen Campbell has had a killer career from playing with the Beach Boys and doing a lot of studio work to having a very nice solo career. Wichita lineman still gets me everytime.

Steve Martin is just one of those guys who is talented at everything he does. I am surprised no one mentioned when he used to come out with the arrow through his head and the banjo, which was a part of his act for years. Also I believe King Tut which he penned was a top ten hit.

I believe Steve Martin also played a Ukelele in The Jerk.

"He's trying to shoot the cans!"

He used to say in his stand up act when he brought his banjo out, that you couldn't be sad while playing the banjo. I think he is right.
