Steve Martin has always employed ‘less used’ instruments to bring voice to his funny yet sensitive sentiments. Martin is a comedian known for tempering unbounded wackiness with a plain honesty that leaves you thinking, ‘I like that guy’. So…what are the “less used instruments” Steve Martin uses? You’re probably thinking banjo. You know we’re thinking uke. Bernadette plays a mean cornet, too. Steve’s not really playing though he can, and nicely. This tune is strummed by Lyle Ritz. Check out this sweetly absurd love song from The Jerk.
