Re: Banjo Duet Denver 2005
I'm quite impressed that Steve has gone back to his banjo roots after having an amazing career as a comic and comedy writer (Smothers Brothers) and movie star. Steve and John McEuen started playing banjo in Colorado at about the same time. John went on to have a successful career with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and later as a sideman on my CD, "After All These Years." I like Steve's casual style of playing - he doesn't take himself too seriously (that's his personna) but he does play precisely and he writes some interesting stuff. As a matter of interest, my good friend, Salli Ratts (wife of Denver record producer, Jim Ratts) designed the CD package for Steve's CD, "The Crow." She a very inventive artist!
