March 3, 2009 | Catching up with Christopher Guest
Update on writer/director/comedian Christopher Guest, famous for his stint on Saturday Night Live and rockumentary "Spinal Tap," now Beyman Brothers mandolinist/recording artist. We've thoroughly enjoyed their recent instrumental release, "Memories of Summer as a Child" (see January archive Christopher Guest "taps" into acoustic), and are pleased to read about another Tap reunion with actor/musicians Michael McKean and Harry Shearer later this spring.
According to the March 2nd interview in Paste Magazine, Guest learned mandolin while playing gigs in high school with Arlo Guthrie. Despite his incredible success in television and movies, he's always maintained a music lifestyle playing mandolin, guitar, and clarinet.
