"And he still plays a mean banjo."

Speaking of banjo, have you ever heard Bela Fleck and the Flecktones? I just saw them at Bass Hall in Fort Worth and they were the best live band I have ever seen.

Bela Fleck's banjo does things I've never heard a banjo do. Also, Victor Wooten has to be the best electric bass player alive.

If you ever get a chance to see them DO IT.

You bet I know Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. The opening riff of "Cheeseballs in a Cowtown," is one of the most graceful and compelling bits in all the hundreds of CDs we have. Haven't seen them live; want to very much.
