Illustrated by
C. F. Payne.
A song on Martin's 2010 Grammy-winning banjo album "The Crow: New Songs for the Five-String Banjo" receives reinterpretation as a picture book. The goofball verse isn't quite matched by the exaggerated-Rockwellian illustrations, but there's some humor in the story of a kid who rushes to school only to discover it's Saturday. Martin strums and sings on an accompanying CD.
