Steve Martin on NPR

Steve MartinYesterday’s (2/4) edition of All Things Considered on National Public Radio included a lengthy interview with Steve Martin. The entire interview was dedicated to his love of the banjo, his serious passion for the instrument and, of course, his newly released album of original banjo music, The Crow.

Unlike many other recent Martin interviews, this one doesn’t even reference that he also has a new movie coming out. Oh, if only all banjo players could get this kind of press!

You can hear the entire interview at NPR.org.
