A Wild And Crazy Guy Musician, actor and all-around funny man Steve Martin plays banjo for a crowd of some 3,500 fans at the River Run base of Bald Mountain Tuesday night. Martin, who has increasingly established himself as a talented banjo player, played with the Steep Canyon Rangers, a bluegrass band from North Carolina. Martin and the band concluded the show with Martin's 70s-era comedy classic "King Tut." The sold-out show was part of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts' summer concert series. Photo by Willy Cook
