Wonderful conversation, and wonderful insight! And props to the interviewer too! Thoughtful questions, and he actually let the interviewee express himself.
I learned so much from him than in any other interview of his. I'm delighted to find how Steve and I have so much in common when it comes to performing and other things, why I'll admire him all my life.
Gives me a whole new appreciation for Mr. Martin. Love his banjo playing, have even seen him in person but this interview shows a whole new side of him that makes me revere his talent even more. Thanks for sharing.
"This metronome is broken, it keeps slowing down." This is perhaps the most insightful and relatable comment I've heard with regard to learning an instrument.
What a great interview. His journey learning the banjo reminds me of my own , back then fifty years ago the only way to learn was by slowing down records and getting hold of the Pete Seeger and Scruggs books, its not an easy journey to make but well worth it when you have arrived. Thanks for all you are doing for the music Steve.
Well said Steve great actor /comedian and also an excellent banjo player what an ambassador to music and he's 💯 correct every one should have an instrument of some kind depending what gonra they listen to or as even if you pick it up or sit at it like a piano .keyboard you don't have to be the world s greatest musician to get a tune and sing along it can bring something into your life to elax and enjoy .👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🏴🥃🇺🇸
Steve was a Garden Grove boy. I lived there in the 70's and bought my banjo from the same guy he bought his banjos from. I REALLY wish I could have interacted with him! He's a much better banjoist than he lets on. Sigh.
If you really take the time to listen to this, the message is very spiritual. There is something other worldly that happens to the soul when you listen to live bluegrass music, including the banjo.
The only thing I did not like about the interview is how short it was. I could hear Steve for hours. I read his comedy book and was deeply fascinated by it. He is an intellectual and it shows. He treated comedy as an experiment. He treated acting as an experience of the mind. He's extremely analytical and layered as a person. It's clear that Steve keeps a private life but when he reveals parts of himself, you see the vulnerability and thinking that goes into his every day life.

Great and substantive interview. Thank you.
One of the best interviews with him. I had never heard so much of this stuff!
What a wonderful human being Steve is and an exceptional banjo player. Thanks Steve for all the inspiration.

Excellent interview/interviewer and great advice from Steve at the end of the vid about the pleasure of playing an instrument.
Very straightforward and down to earth.
Great interview Johnny..

He should totally put his name in the banjo. Increase the value for the next generation

What's not to love? Great guys.

He is 70 has never aged.

I think the MECCA was in Santa Ana, not Tustin...just in case anybody wanted to know...maybe it moved at some point?
Very well done Johnny, very interesting.
