Well, I am at a stalemate with Fire Emblem Awakening right now. I have hit that wall with it, so instead of rage quiting I am going to take a well needed break from it. I hope everybodies gaming is going well. Now for some Music.
And I thank you.
Wha...?
Steve Martin on a banjo?
Amazing-ness
Oh yeah, I watched a biography on TV about Steve Martin. Thought it was interesting that he could play the banjo well.
Oh yeah. He played some on SNL. He was also on the Today show yesterday.
Hey! I originated rage quitting on Fire Emblem. I knew I was on to something. I shall start a Fire Emblem therapy group.
Well, count me as a member, lol. I almost did two days ago but put the game down and have not been back to it.
Argh sick Banjo! Cool, Steve Martin 
Already knew about the Steve Martin banjo thing, but when two of your biggest passions in life are music and comedy, you know these things. lol Aparently, he's into art as well, and I remember him plugging a book he had written about some of his favorite art pieces. That reminds me, we have The Jerk! at home, and I don't think I've ever watched it straight through in one sitting.Hmmm...
Really dug the Alison Brown Quartet. Also, the influences from "Going to Glasgow" on "Shipping up to Boston" are pretty apparent. I even thought I wrote a riff on guitar once, before realizing it was just the same series of notes from the chorus of "Shipping up to Boston." I had titled it some reference to A Clockwork Orange before taking it off an old Myspace music page I had. Something about that tune is so catchy.
That is some great pickin! Steve Martin is phenomonal on the banjo. It was part of his stage act in the beginning. I remember seeing him do standup on TV playing it. The Claire Lynch Band is awesome. We ate at the Loveless Cafe once when I visited my sister in Nashville. I remember the great food and all the pics of musicians on the wall,all of them autographed. Real slice of music history.
