Crowe, who is now the undisputed standard bearer. And, what's not to like about this clip with Vince Gill, Albert Lee, Marty Stewart and others? Ya gotta give it to Steve Martin. He's hanging in there and trying to leverage his celebrity into more recognition and appreciation of the 5 string. R.

My dad knew who he was and thought I should go on the road with them. But, I had never heard of them as we never listened to country music in our family. So, I declined. The clip sounds pretty good for that kind of music. I guess it would have been fun,and who knows where it could have all led.haha That's ok, I'm glad I went the way I did.

What instrument did he want you to play in his group? How did he know of you?

I had a listing that I played trumpet, organ, sax and drums. He never told me which instrument or instruments he was most interested in, at least not that I remember. I just really didn't want to go on the road. That was not my intention for the ad. Edited by Scott Langholff (03/30/12 12:25 PM)
