A Bluegrass Original

Wednesday, January 02, 2008

Tony Trischka says he didn’t choose to play the banjo -- it chose him. But during his 40-year career, he’s inspired a generation of bluegrass musicians to pick up the instrument. On his Grammy nominated CD Double Banjo Bluegrass Spectacular, he collaborates with banjoists ranging from Bela Fleck to comedian Steve Martin.

That question about there being any English in the song sung with a Southern accent: was that supposed to be "clever"? It missed the mark badly. Also, remember when you make a "clever" reference to the movie Deliverance that it came out in '72, very dated.

Steve Martin's in his early 60's, not late 70's...
