Two legends come to Luhrs Center

By ROXANN MILLER Senior correspondent
There's not much Steve Martin, 64, hasn't done, based on scanning his list of accomplishments, and it appears there's not much he can't do from actor, comedian, art collector, magician, author and musician.

From the 1970s Wild and Crazy Guys skits on Saturday Night Live with Dan Aykroyd to an extensive movie career -- including "Father of the Bride," "Cheaper by the Dozen" and "It's Complicated" -- a children's book, "The Alphabet from A to Y," and an autobiography, "Born Standing Up," Martin boasts quite a daunting list of achievements.
We haven't mentioned he's a Kennedy Center recipient.
During a break from filming his latest project, a movie "The Big Year," starring Owen Wilson and Jack Black as competitive bird watchers, he squeezed in a phone interview with the Public Opinion about his performance with the Steep Canyon Rangers, scheduled for 8 p.m. July 31 in H. Ric Luhrs Performing Arts Center at Shippensburg University.
One thing that came across the phone, loud and clear, was his easy laugh and relaxed manner as he willingly answered questions with candor and a bit of self-deprecating humor.
Despite being such a diversified performer, Martin wanted to focus on his upcoming Luhrs Center performance leading the Steep Canyon Rangers Bluegrass band through a musical and laugh-studded crowd pleasing performance -- one of 30-stops through October.  Full story.
