Steve Martin and the Philadelphia Orchestra united for a rollicking rendition of the comedian's bluegrass tune, 'Office Supplies'
teamed up with the Philadelphia Orchestra to put a symphonic spin on his bluegrass tune, “Office Supplies.”
Martin and the Philly Orchestra recorded the socially distanced performance for the HearNOW: At-Home Gala, which the orchestra hosted digitally over the weekend. The performance opened with Martin introducing the song, saying he’d reveal the reason he titled it “Office Supplies” after the performance.
The performance itself found Martin rolling away on his banjo, while the Philadelphia Orchestra beefed up the arrangement with strings, woodwinds and horns . True to his word, at the end of the song, Martin cracked, “And now I’ll tell you why it’s called ‘Office Supplies,’ it’s because if, at the end of the song, you’re not thinking of office supplies, then I haven’t done my job.”
