David and I were fortunate to see Bela Fleck perform live twice. In 1990 we saw him at Humphry's in San Diego and in 1996 we saw him the House of Blues in New Orleans. An amazing talent.

I heard an interview with Bela Flack on NPR yesterday. He was paying tribute to Earl Scruggs. The interviewer implied that with Scruggs passing, Fleck is now the greatest living banjo player. Fleck was modest and pointed out that they had different styles.
