I took my lessons backstage of the Bird Cage where I'd often wait as a young actor/ also banjoist would be -that actor, Steve Martin taught me to play "Home Sweet Home" on banjo,a real nice guy.<BR/>Jon Miller jonmiller54@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-69402863970798261622008-03-21T22:01:00.000-07:002008-03-21T22:01:00.000-07:00I was just at KBF today (Friday 3/21) and took som...I was just at KBF today (Friday 3/21) and took some photos of the theater.

I wonder if this was the time period when Ed Big Daddy Roth was painting signs for Knotts. Both have kind of his look.Matterhorn1959https://www.blogger.com/profile/07140583153080149244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-44899800828189866752008-03-18T08:34:00.000-07:002008-03-18T08:34:00.000-07:00Beautiful photo.
