R-A-M-B-L-I-N - Apostrophe

Steve Martin has a new banjo album out and there's an article about it in today's New York Times. You can see him playing with Earl Scruggs on Late Night, here (I like how Dave addresses Steve at the end). You can see the many posts in which I've mentioned or written about Steve Martin, by clicking here.

Years ago at a noisy get together I met someone whose last name was Martin, which I found unusual so I asked her to repeat it - to make sure I heard right and she did, and then added, like Steve. Later she laughed harder than anyone at two of my performances. Thanks Naomi.

The RAM - BLINNNNNNN' shtick made me laugh like crazy every time. Steve Martin was and is a comic genius. His turns on Saturday Night Live were among the best parts of that show, ever. In the years since he appeared on SNL regularly, I've enjoyed learning about his many creative talents. Amazing guy.

Thanks for the comment and for remembering that song. Feels like yesterday. It's impressive to me that when he appears on talk shows or SNL he always crafts something new,good and unique. I highly recommend his book.
