    Great video! I enjoyed that from start to finish.

    I'm going with Steve Martin.

    I'm not sure who is the coin collector in that group, but I can listen to Leon Russell all day long. Songs like this make him a favorite in my book.

    I always thought Steve Martin was an underappreciated genius so I'm going with him.

    I didn't open the link, but the dinosaur says Hoagy Carmichael.

    Not sure who the collector is/was. Steve Martin is an avid art collector.

    Best guess is Earl Scruggs, who became friends with Buddy Ebsen during the Hillbilly years.

    Really just wanted to share some good music on a Saturday night. image

    I think I heard or read somewhere that Steve Martin collected coins...

    He did portray a modern day Silas Marner in a movie!

    Not sure, but the blond guy with the red guitar (who sorta looks like a young Buck Rambo) sure plays a mean guitar! Good, foot-stompin' bluegrass music.

    Marty Stuart!

    ""Isaac Hayes, Ricky Skaggs, Ruby Wilson and Marty Stuart out-glittered the coin they came to honor Monday (Jan. 14) as musicians, songwriters, politicians and bureaucrats converged on the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville to celebrate the issuance of the Tennessee commemorative quarter.""

    Steve Martin did collect coins in the
    early/'mid 1970's, but soon went on
    to fine art.

    I actually sold him coins when I was
    working for Jonathon's Coins on
    Manchester Blvd. in Inglewood, back
    in 1972/73.

    He was a writer for various comedy
    TV shows at the time, but I think this
    was after the Smothers Brothers'
    show was cancelled.

    I was aware of who he was, but this was
    before he became a national stand-up
    comedian.

    He was a quiet person, and his hair
    was that silvery-grey even back then!

    Just returned from a visit to see my nephew.

    Hope he can afford to "collect a few coins" someday.
