I love Bluegrass and Bela Fleck (and the Flecktones), but have never heard him do this. Thank you!

Thank you for posting this. I had heard Béla Fleck way back in the days of my youth. His name caught my attention first. His virtuoso art on the banjo is epic. He is a wonder filled musician.

I saw him (Bela Fleck and he Flecktones) in the late 80's or early 90's, small auditorium, San Jose Civic Center and it was fabulous.

I was almost more impressed by his bassist, Victor Wooten. The man is a demon on the fat strings.

I saw him with his wife in a 400 seat. Amazing space in Louisville, Kentucky. I’m trying to remember her name …Washburn. ?!

Bella Fleck is a treasure, one of those who redefined an entire instrument. And is too little known. Thanks for sharing this!
