A story about Steve Martin
Even when I was three years old, I knew that this was ONE FUNNY GUY! I especially loved him in “My Blue Heaven.”

Somehow I’ve unconsciously modeled my teaching and storytelling persona after his standup act. I loved his stuff since I was young, and have since mangaged to successfully tackle juggling, balloon sculpture, banjo and that self-aware style of comedy that I use in my classroom and performances. Now, I know that he’s probably very different from the act he puts on, but I’d like to meet him so that I could treat him to a Coke and fries and thank him for his work. It’s been beneficial to me.
I used to have a neighbor friend down the street who bought the “lets get small” album. It was the funniest album i had ever heard. I think after that I decided I wanted to be a comedian.
My wife and I in high school used to make Steve Martin Jokes to each other. It was right there that I fell in love with her.
Ever since I watched LA Story countless times when I was growing up, I have loved Steve Martin. He is my favorite actor ever, and he has one of my favorite quotes…
Talking about music is like dancing about architecture…
Which reminds me, I can’t believe I STILL haven’t seen Shopgirl.
I have had a crush on Steve Martin since I was 16 years old. That’s a long time. A really long time in dog years.
