    Steve Martin is actually a very good banjo player. He said once that he chose comedy over bluegrass because nobody ever said "Look at that banjo player in that Porsche!"

    • @IanOsmond
      @IanOsmond Год назад +53

      One of his lhes from his early standup was "Okay, now I know what you're thinking - this is just yet another one of those banjo-magic-comedy acts..." He basically thought of, and I think, still thinks of, himself as a vaudevillian at heart - get on stage and entertain people for five or ten minutes doing a combination of whatever you've got. Which is one of the reasons he has always worked well with the Muppets - Jim Henson's attitude was much the same, and that attitude still persists.

      It is awesome - because if one is left handed, there is no reason to "adjust". In baseball, one is not trained to throw or bat righty if they are left handed - actually their market value is greater!. It is really bullshit to say we should play instruments right handed, since right handers are playing instruments in their natural way! Ask them if they should play "lefty" and listen to their response!

      Actually, there is a change but it’s the same puppeteer that’s been at it since ‘90 & it’s none other than Steve Whitmire. And admittedly, yeah he actually sounded way closer to Jim Henson then than he did here, but now we have a completely wrong sounding Kermit and we can thank Brian Henson, Disney and Matt Vogel for that. He doesn’t sound like Steve or Jim, it’s actually a very unsettling change. Just get back another Jim Henson sound alike like ‘90s Steve Whitmire, and I’ll be fine. Sheesh...
