The Late Show - Steve Martin, Earl Scruggs
Okay folks....It's raining here in Cleveland and misty by the lake. I am making Pumpkin Bread and Soup for dinner and watching football. My son and I are attempting to share a computer ( his is sick again), so I can't blog until much later...So I am a wee bit frustated. So I will put on some Bluegrass tonight....and later Blues. This is an amazing clip from a performance on David Letterman.
So True or False:
Steve Martin has won a grammy for his Banjo Skills ?
Also to lift your Spirits Mel has a Limerick Contest going on, head over sit on her porch and have a laugh...
Have a good Saturday Night Folks...
New Post up at Midnight...

Truly great pickin. I bought a Lester and Earl album not long ago, but it annoyed my wife who said she wouldn't listen to it because Earl Scruggs is a big Republican and supporter of Dubya. I don't know if that's really so, but she says it is, so it must be true. I have always liked Flatt n Scruggs.
well, i don't know 'bout a banjo grammy, but i just love an artist who steps outside his celebrated medium & shows another talent, one that you didn't pay your ticket money for. and banjo is not easy to learn! my self-taught sister says it was even harder than competitive chess (which she's pretty good at, too). D.K.
Have a great restful evening, Enigma. The soup and bread sound delicious. Thanks for the music.
SKIPPY: Hey there..yup..it was just the right music to have on...Rain falling and a bit of the picking.....made the whole night go better...heading your way next...
SAPPHO: long time so see,....so great to see you....and don't worry about adding me...I know you will when you can...stop in anytime..
PROF:Hey, thanks for coming by- I will try to throw the Pumpkin Bread reciep your way...I also added a Dip post tonight- thought of you....
DK: geez competitive chess and banj0- I don't know which is harder...hmm...for me , ol Butter-Fingers-Grace...it would have to be the Banjo...my man I watch his fingers and his hands and I am mesmerized...on all levels...I love this song.. I find myslef humming it at odd moments...The Grammy Issue remains a mystery.
Newsguy: I don't blame your wife , but I think these guys were actually some of the Old School that supported the Dixie Chicks during the whole Fiasco a few years ago- I think Earl is actually okay...( Blue Grass Folk are alot more forgiving and open minded than regular old Country....I can say that I got Kentucky Kin that are musically talented- me I am musically challenged....Can't play a damn thing..but sure love to listen...)
Have a Good Night Folks.....
