The only thing wrong with this video is that it's too short.

Nice bit. Everyone should be getting outdoors if they can!

My favorite Steve Martin bluegrass song is “Yellow-Backed Fly.”

Can’t help thinking of Joe Scarborough in regards to Banjos.

I can’t stand Banjo music.

Nice to see a celebrity shut up play! Saw him and his band at the Mirage in Vegas. Spectacular show.

When James Woods witnesses nonsense like this, he must regret not pursuing his scientific career at MIT and having contributed something more than amusement with his intelligence and considerable talents. Although his pictures are usually very good and his acting excellent.

I am wondering why you think someone playing banjo in the woods is going to calm people down? What is the correlation? Just curious.

Another example of the arrogance, narcissism & utter stupidity of Hollyweird.

I like Steve Martin and at least he didn’t preach but I am tired of seeing all of this Celebrity worship on how they are “surviving” and “isolating” on their beaches, yachts, in their mansions, etc....STHU

Happy I could share. I find the little riff at the beginning very moving ... it reminds me of my late father, who was a keen fisherman.

Another great song, in a very different way, is “Atheists Don’t Have No Songs.”

Really? The banjo is making a comeback in many popular groups of today. Mumford & Sons, trampled by turtles, the infamous string dusters, and more.
