Happened to be teaching a Banjo lesson at the Berklee school last Wednesday afternoon and luckily went overtime. Steve Martin showed up and played with us for most of an hour. He's a kind and generous person, as well as a really good player (both clawhammer and 3-finger), singer and songwriter. Nice time. Nicky Sanders of the Steep Canyon Rangers, who graduated from Berklee in '02, was there with him, and knocked our socks off on the Fiddle!
