    Steve is my favorite banjo picker. His heart is pure country.

    I'm from the UK. When I was small, I always thought that when I entered heaven, I'd be greeted by summer skylarks and the distant peal of village church bells. I'm now old and grey and heaven is a distant dream, but this reminds me of that simple joy: of hearing the skylarks and their endless song, and the local village church, pracitisng their rounds. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

      +Lathan Stanton good music, the type that reaches in and touches your heart does not see an age, a sex, or a race, it simply sees an open heart and soon that music fills that heart and that is when the smiles come and the feet start tapping. I am a late 40's souther white man, and I still remember the first time I heard HALO, touched my heart at how real it was.

    How cool is it that Steve Martin wrote this tune with Gary Scruggs, Earl Scruggs’ eldest son. If you haven’t heard Gary and Randy Scruggs’ “The Lowlands,” or the Nitty, Gritty Dirt Band’s cover, do. Beautiful tune written by the late Gary Scruggs.

      I grew up on country. We all played something, except Mom.
      Dad used to pick the banjo, but the guitar was his usual go to. One day I heard him picking the banjo in the back wood shed.
      "Dad, what are you doing picking in the wood shed?"
      Dad: " Your Mom don't like the bandjo, I play it out here instead. " He didn't seem to mind......I did. We sang all the old country. I was named after Brenda Lee. Those were special days. Thanks Mr. Martin.

      It might have been inexpensive, but not cheap. It appears to be his first banjo -- a Gibson RB170 open back. It is a fine instrument for clawhammer.
