W6KME@tsherrygeo @ai6yr Reminds me of the time I left my clarinet on the seat of my car. When I got back, I found a broken window and two more clarinets.
Eric the half-a-beeSurely you mean the Accordion, Banjo or French Horn (impossible to play- ask me)…
@Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo @ai6yr Would you believe I play accordion AND banjo? And I actually majored in french horn.
You know what else? I really am a hit at parties 😂 👍
@W6KME @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo It was only after joining the Fediverse did I learn that Steve Martin got his start playing banjo!
Paul_IPv6@ai6yr @W6KME @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo
totally hellacious player.
john mccuen (of the nitty grtitty dirt band) and he used to do this gag where steve would be playing a fast banjo tune, then would grab a glass of water and drink while the banjo playing went on, then resume playing without any break in the music.
this was because john was behind stage and steve and john were able to play exactly the same notes in sync...
@paul_ipv6 @W6KME @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo The Tiny Desk concert is pretty good

Cookiefiend@ai6yr @W6KME @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo I don't know about Knott's Berry Farm (maybe?) but I know he played at Disneyland because he occasionally played with my now brother-in-law. My brother-in-law, who has played banjo in bluegrass bands for 60 years, says Martin was always better than he was, even when they were teenagers.
@LPerry2 @ai6yr @W6KME @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo
ask your brother-in-law if he knows evan marshall. evan plays mandolin, played for years at disneyland. his speciality is a solo version of the william tell overture.
evan is a fun guy at parties, aside from being a scary good mando player.
@paul_ipv6 @ai6yr @W6KME @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo I will! I'm sure he knows of him, even if he doesn't know him personally.
Evan J. Marshall, mandolin
AN/CRM-114@ai6yr @W6KME @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo he also blew his chance to get with Linda Ronstadt back in the early days
@ai6yr @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo In his early day,s and on his first couple of albums in the 70s, banjo figured heavily.
