Here is a link to my interview with Bela Fleck, who will be headlining Earth Day and performing acoustic with friends from 5:30pm-7 http://ftp.wrlt.com/production/int/10/100413bela.mp3 He talked about who is in the band and told us he created the group just for the show on Saturday. He also gave us two terrific performances in the Lightning 100 studios and a lesson on playing the Banjo, Bela Fleck style!

Bela Fleck is known as the world's best banjo player and has virtually reinvented both the image of the banjo as well as and the sound of the instrument.

Bela has won 11 Grammy Awards and has played on albums by Chick Corea, Phish, Bruce Hornsby, Shawn Colvin, Jerry Douglas, and Dave Matthews Band.

This episode talks about signing record deals, leaving record deals, signing other record deals, recording albums, writing songs, establishing yourself in different genres of music, and his new documentary film, Throw Down Your Heart.
