Its been awhile since my last blog. I've been to see the Flecktones. Awsome... I talked with the Flecktone mangement before going to see if I could get a banjo head signed by Bela. They said just to hang around and Bela would come to the edge of the stage and talk with anyone who hung around after the show. I was a little too toung tied to hold a conversation but Bela was great and signed one of my 10 2/16" banjo heads for me. So here is the display that I made for it with a picture of Bela and the ticket stub to date his signature. Pretty cool.

The whole band is amazing. Bela Fleck / on banjo, Howard Levy / on hamonica and key boards, Victor Wooten /on Bass and Victor's brother Futureman on the drumitar and drums.
I knew about Bela and Victor who suprised me most was Howard. There was one time he make his hamonica sound just like bag pipes. How he did it I have no idea.

Bela did a very nice tribute to Earl Scruggs.

 will try to get back into a weekly habit of blogging.
