The story behind the photo...

Our house was selected as one of the locations for the Steve Martin/Laura Dern/Helena Bonham Carter bomb, Novocaine. Because it was a low-budget film, we were allowed to stay downstairs while the filming went on upstairs (note all of our bedroom furniture piled up in the background). My husband knew that Steve Martin had a banjo just like one of his so he left it at the bottom of the stairs as bait. Sure enough, Martin saw it, asked who played, and then the two of them played at every filming break for the rest of the day. I handed my camera to the still photographer, who shot this photo.

Oops! Of course they're playing banjos, not guitars! With luck my husband will never see this and know how I blew it!

I don't think that movie was a bomb so much as it was just low budget in the first place... It was an awesome movie, though, actually!

hey, what kind of banjo is that?

The banjo I was posed with was my 1962 Gibson (like the one Steve learned with) and Steve had my new Bart Reiter banjo. He liked the Gibson better.

That is just such a cool photo and story, yooperann. I am big banjo and Steve Martin fan!

That's pretty cool! I love Steve Martin, and he plays a mean banjo!
