Martin Mull in 1973 gets back to his roots in the Lake Erie delta.
Martin Mull’s college roommate was Steve Martin who was no slouch on banjo.
Awesome. I can play the plastic scale, too, but putting it into a high-speed vid makes the grade.
Now THIS is really annoying, so much so that I’m not going to post it here. You’re on you’re own, and I dare you to listen to the whole tutorial. I couldn’t do it, but I can listen through this:
David Grisman & Jerry Garcia doing B.B. King’s classic “Thrill is Gone.”
To close it out, here’s B.B. King himself with Billy Preston and, um, Bruce Willis on harp. Have a great weekend folks, and remember that most of us can play harp better than Bruce Willis, who’s got no business at all in that lineup.

LCAS– Didn’t say he was tone deef, just that he’s not that great a harp player to be allowed into that assemblage of awesome talent. Willis was great in Terry Gilliam’s “12 Monkeys.”

Aggie– I’ll try to remember that. After all, you don’t want to be associated with an organization that has kitty ringworm problems.

Bruce Willis should also get a lifetime achievement award for the many great films that he had `
