Trischka/Martin on Ellen posted on YouTube

Tony Trischka with Steve Martin on the Ellen DeGeneres ShowAs one would have expected, someone has posted the video from Tony Trischka and Steve Martin’s appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last Thursday up on YouTube.

They were on to promote Tony’s Double Banjo Bluegrass Spectacular CD, and played one of Steve’s compositions from the project, The Crow.

The clip features both the tune (with twin banjos) and a brief discussion between Ellen and the banjo boys.
