Saw Bela and the Flecktones last weekend. Amazing show! 2.5 hrs. +.

No others out there like these guys. Highly recommend them, live.

Oh my god, will someone please make the banjo go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care if he's as good as Jimi, ( He's not,) it's a freakin BANJO!

What's next? A genius on Kazoo?? A washboard prodigy?

There's a reason why some stuff won't sell. Sometimes it's because it sucks. 
 

You realize that people said the same thing about the guitar until people like de Lucena and Segovia came along?  And then about electric guitar as well, for that matter.

I'm pretty sure if you listen to Starlight by the Wailin Jennys (another of Bill's favs - I dig it too), the melody is very, VERY similar at times. Are these two artists related in some way?

"Too many notes" live, but Bela does this kind of thing better than just about everybody.

This guy is great.Evry time I'd see his name in print I would confuse him with jello Biafra and so I always ignored him.

Beautiful coming after Massive Attack - Protection. Fits so well. This, right here, is one of the reasons I am here at RP. The brilliant fitting together of music. I can hardly stand to hear one CD all the way through anymore. Kudos to BillG.

Saw him in concert...simply amazing. A new appreciation for the range and capacity of the banjo.


Everyone do themselves a favor and catch the Flecktones live...

...Futureman and Victor Wooton offset Bela's virtuosity and make some serious improvisational magic.
