I'm from the UK. When I was small, I always thought that when I entered heaven, I'd be greeted by summer skylarks and the distant peal of village church bells. I'm now old and grey and heaven is a distant dream, but this reminds me of that simple joy: of hearing the skylarks and their endless song, and the local village church, pracitisng their rounds. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Steve is my favorite banjo picker. His heart is pure country.
I came across it on Spotify and didn't realize it was Steve Martin, this man is truly a talent and an American Treasure. For those old enough to remember him on SNL I salute you all 😁
Salty: Yep ~ I’m OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER “SNL” 🎉😂❤
The Steep Canyon Rangers are awesome.
Love, love, love Steve Martin!! This reminds me so much of my kidhood Saturday nights. Cousins everywhere picking and singing.
Yep. Me too...
Daddy fingered your box...
This is what makes America great.
A memory of what never was became the good old days...great line..
that line gets me every time. sweet memories
And Oh So true 😉
Crying through this whole song. I can hear my Daddy playing his guitar and singing Hank Williams!
“Where memory of, what never was, became the good old days.”
I gotta see this dude someday. He's awesome. He just is so normal and down to earth haha. He's not like most celebrities.
He and the Steep Canyon Rangers put on a fantastic show!
That's how people that know what's really important behave, something good to keep in mind because the most important thing in life is family.
@@josmarz3841 Well put!!
Saw him 100 years ago during his "King Tut" period. Funny then, funnier now, and more interesting.
I love this song and I love the banjo. There I said it. 😊
Now this is a good country song.
Just beautiful. Love the vocals. ,and the instrumental is very uplifting.
love this song. Steve brings a little humor to a huge amount of banjo talent.
I
Love
This
Song.
Glad Steve is enjoying life by doing what likes to do.
Sweetheart I’ve loved him for so long and I believe he is a very humble man and an old soul. God Bless you
How cool is it that Steve Martin wrote this tune with Gary Scruggs, Earl Scruggs’ eldest son. If you haven’t heard Gary and Randy Scruggs’ “The Lowlands,” or the Nitty, Gritty Dirt Band’s cover, do. Beautiful tune written by the late Gary Scruggs.
Country song---3 chords and the truth
Steve Martin. WHAT A GUY!
He plays clawhammer banjo too! Not surprised, he is amazingly talented.
He actually started with clawhammer if you watch some of his old comedy clips
Aaron Quick he actually said in interviews he learnt three finger Scruggs style technique first and then learnt clawhammer afterwards. Either way, dude can pick a banjo
he was trained by Mark Johnson
(:
Beautiful song and very poetic Steve. The arrangement perfectly spells out the lyrics. Thank You and the Band.
Freakin outstanding in every way!!!!
Absolutely fabulous!!! I just love Steve Martin and I love this song!!! Well done to all!!! ♥
Have this CD; it's my favourite piece on the disc. Recently created a textile art piece inspired by it.
I’ll search for it!
I don't like country music! But I love this. Just beautiful. Thank Mr Steve Martin.
Well your in luck, cause this isn't country. Its Bluegrass! lol
+Lathan Stanton good music, the type that reaches in and touches your heart does not see an age, a sex, or a race, it simply sees an open heart and soon that music fills that heart and that is when the smiles come and the feet start tapping. I am a late 40's souther white man, and I still remember the first time I heard HALO, touched my heart at how real it was.
I'm not even from the USA...... but i love this as a mid 20s south american
I don't either but this is more like "old-timey" music to me! I absolutely love all the Steve Martin & Steep Canyon Ranger music! Hard to dislike the banjo!
Paul Bledsoe - you perhaps need to tell its composer it isn't country. That's what Steve Martin says it is 0:30
I gained a NEW respect for Steve. I never liked hi comedy much but he is a true artist! Who knew? and he can juggle his ass off!
What a fantastic song.
so talented. love his acting, love his banjo playing better!
Beautiful
Very well done you guys 🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Steve Martin + banjo = ❤
Pretty good for "bad poetry"! 😉😄
OMG!!I love it. Steve you wild and crazy guy, it's grest!! And, yrs, I am and a country fan. I just love good music. Thank you talented gentlemen.
The lyrics are great.
i always like your music ahhh good job guys
This song is a tear-jerker, sniff😢
Isn't this AWESOME...
Renaissance man...
I Love Steve Martin, I Love all his movies. This song is beautiful, it reminds me of my Father.
Hell yeah !!!!!
Fantastic Mr. MARTIN. A GOOD OLE COUNTRY SONG INDEED..
I grew up on country. We all played something, except Mom.
Dad used to pick the banjo, but the guitar was his usual go to. One day I heard him picking the banjo in the back wood shed.
"Dad, what are you doing picking in the wood shed?"
Dad: " Your Mom don't like the bandjo, I play it out here instead. " He didn't seem to mind......I did. We sang all the old country. I was named after Brenda Lee. Those were special days. Thanks Mr. Martin.
Did Ken Burns add this to his Country Music documentery? SHOULD HAVE. THEY ARE SIMPLY GREAT AND STEVE IS SIMPLY MARVELOUS!!!!!!
Fine, fine poetry
And FRAILING too!!! ❤❤❤❤
Fantastic !!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great song.
He showed up at a benefit event SCR were hosting in Brevard, NC. He was not listed in line up. Great surprise of course & music was awesome.
Did y’all know Steve Martin is from Waco, Texas?
Best ever on SNL, bever on a banjo!
When this came up on CZcams I thought. Who the hell is Merideth Moon? Now I know and I love it.
Love this. Also, nice job making a cheap budget banjo sound so good.
It might have been inexpensive, but not cheap. It appears to be his first banjo -- a Gibson RB170 open back. It is a fine instrument for clawhammer.
😇😇😇😇
Steve, please, its never too late to have kids.
He had his first child in 2012
He has one. A daughter I believe.
Reminds me of my mother and late husbands (both of them)
A comedian that always wanted to be a banjo player.
👍👍👏
That Steep Canyon Rangers banjo player really slowed the tempo down when he played his back.
Steve could have made it as a musician without ever telling a joke. Comedy was Ala Mode on the apple pie.
Must be nice to have SM in your band and get such accolades for being an OK band! Lots of bands on YT pickin as good or better with 200 views.
I think this band is top rate in IMO!😊 I like that with Steve in it there are TWO banjo’s.
He's a much better banjo player than a comedian.
I love this song, but prefer the rendition on the Steve Martin CD from before he hooked up with this nice bunch of musicians.
And yes, that is simply my personal, subjective, opinion.
😆👍🥰👏👏👏🥺🤩🥳😊
F U Steve I lived this song Oh by the way thanks od so very much
Caroline HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa
Amazing technically but missing that lonesome hill sound...
The song is fantastic...but the second banjo has slowed the song down too much. The song has lost the musicality of the beginning
Love how he is a Trump supporter too!
Cool! I wondered that and hoped he wasn't like some other actors who had no clue.
Hes right about one thing . The lyrics are awful
how sad he has to slap honest bluegrass players with his snark. Maybe he should kick a puppy instead of spitting on bluegrass fans.
Indeed. He should have stabbed them with the snark. Every fool knows that wet fish are for slapping.
How could you say that? He actually learned the banjo from and collaborated with legit bluegrass musicians!! His influences and contributions suggest the complete opposite of your point.
You can't really be a bluegrass player if you don't have a sense of humor.
... did you say you wanted to swim with the snarks...I mean the sharks...
Steve is my favorite banjo picker. His heart is pure country.
