Funny or Die: Bluegrass Diva

I never knew Funny or Die would make something like this, but I am very glad they do. I'm a huge folk and bluegrass fan (shout out to Batgirl for introducing me to Nickel Creek way back in the way!), and it was tres exciting to see some of these players in this video. I particularly enjoyed mandolinist Chris Thile's reaction to banjo player Noam Pikelny's singing.

(I bet a lot of you didn't know Steve Martin has been for many years, and is, a banjo player. In fact, he was named Entertainer of the Year by Bluegrass Music Association. You can read an article about it here.
