i met bela fleck!
 

saw him play with "sparrow quartet" small show, played with a cellist, fiddler n banjo/singer, really fascinating show. anyway i saw my friend there n after the show i went backstage with him trying to get autographs etc. we couldnt find anyone so i was like "uhh.. lets see whats upstairs."

so i opened this door and bela is just standing there in a room and he said to me, "i'll be down in a sec." at this point i was like OK I just talked to bela fleck. talked to him some after about the show and whatnot, and then got my wallet signed ho

then after i left there were a bunch of 13 year olds waiting to see Wheatus AHAH didntknow that band still existed

Whos bella fleck?

One of the best banjo players in the world, and a lot more. and the thing is he does not just play bluegrass; he does jazz, folk, classical, really innovative.

This guy Ben Sollee was on cello. He was the most astonishing performer i had ever seen. he did things with the cello that i didnt know could happen; he played it like a guitar, and sung, and everything. here is a sample of some tracks: http://www.myspace.com/bensollee

he played 'bury me with my car' live. fabulous.

Never heard of him.

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

no, it was not with the flecktones, it was a totally seperate group which they called the sparrow quartet

Bela is the mang. I love the flecktones, particularly Victor Wooten. Though I have to say, I don't believe listening to them does them justice, they need to be seen live.

Yeah, I saw Bela Fleck and the Flecktones at Memphis in May. He is pretty tremendous from everything I have gathered.
