The definition of perfect pitch is the ability to throw a banjo down a lavatory without it touching the sides.

Or "i left my banjo on the back seat of my car with the window open. When o got back somebody had thrown another one in" . Steve martin is a seeiously good banjo player. There are Youtube clips of him playing with Earl Scruggs in bluegrass style, and another with him playing some awesome clawhammer style. Yes. Seriously good banjo player.

Superb player, and as long as it stops him making any more films I'm all for it...

PMSL. Anyone a fan of Les Barker? I'm reminded of his poem 'Mono'

"...Is your banjo too high in the mix - usually "
