Steve Martin is a comedian, novelist, screenwriter, actor and

many other things, but his first love is the banjo, which he started

playing as a teenager. His recent hit CD, "The Crow," features 15

original tunes in both clawhammer and three-finger Scruggs style in a

variety of tunings. Each piece is challenging and ultimately very

playable for most intermediate-level banjo pickers.

This

book of tablature, accurately transcribed by banjo virtuoso Tony

Trischka, is a wonderful learning tool for aspiring players and a great

opportunity to add playable new tunes to your repertoire. The book

includes explanatory notes to each song by Steve Martin himself.
