GUEST,Noodles Steve Martin's 'Happy' Banjo tune (8) Steve Martin's 'Happy' Banjo tune 22 Nov 04

Can anyone shed some light on the tune Steve Martin uses in his Banjo Routine sketch. He starts with the mystery tune then comments: "Isn't that a happy sound - you just can't play a depressing song when you're playing the banjo". He later breaks into Foggy Mountain at lightning speed, but it's that first simple melody that I'm trying to crack - I've also heard it at the end of another of his sketches after an obligatory "excuuuuuuuse me!" Any clues?
