Hello, banjo folks; Codex10168 here.



Steve Martin's 1977 comedy album, "Let's Get Small." Track 3, which is entitled "Let's Get Small" has a banjo tune that starts at about 11:30 into the 15-minute-long track.



What the heck is that tune? I'm sure it's probably something everybody knows--everybody but me, that is.



It's the tune he plays as he does the bit "you just can't play a sad song when you're playing the banjo. You just can't go 'oh death and grieve and sorry and hurt....'"
