I really hate giving a mediocre rating to any musician who can really play, and this banjo player clearly can. But hoo-man...this is a style of music I've just never been able to get into no matter how hard I try. That said, I bet it's terrific to see it played. Interesting that, hmmm.

New Grass, but no old Grass, ala Bill Monroe. Lester and Earl are S.O.L.

Tony still performs last I knew, If you like Mr Fleck, you might want to check out his teacher. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Trischka |

My parents took me to lots of Blue Grass Festivals when I was a teenager. Saw these guys several times.
I wish I could've seen them before they broke up....luckily, most of the members still got together and jammed at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, so I DID get to see that, back in the 90s. |

This is one of the styles of music that make me mute or change the station.....not the direction I want to go....  |

yup...Bela joined the group in '81, and this was recorded in '77. This picker is Courtney Johnson. |

I'm with you, Pyro. I love banjos as well, and if folks are exposed to such excellent playing as this, perhaps we won't be in the minority for long. Or so we can hope... :-) |
