How I met Bela Fleck

I met Béla at the Lincoln Center screening of his brother’s documentary, Obstinato: Making Music for Two. Being a film major at NYU, I tried to ask more technical questions of his brother, as the entire audience was only asking Béla questions and I felt that, as it was Sascha’s film, the director should be asked a few questions about MAKING the film.

Afterwards, I didn’t want to bother Béla, but my BF at the time grabbed my ticket stub and asked him to sign it for me. Béla came over and signed it, and we chatted for a few minutes.

I still have the ticket stub in my wallet. :-)

I bought a photo of him in concert at a

he sits on the stage and meets his fans.
He autographed it for me.

A story about Bela Fleck

Since people include bands and performers they see live in the “met” category. I will go ahead and do this. Still would love to “hang” with Bela. Saw him and the Flecktones live a couple of times including a memorable show at the old Summer Lights festival…. sighs…

How I met Bela Fleck

I met Bela Fleck in line for the restroom yesterday after hearing a bit of a rehearsal. Chatted a bit about a new orchestra piece he has co-written and how much the symphony likes the new hall. Nice guy, very talented.

A story about Bela Fleck

About 14 years ago, I saw Bela and the Flecktones play at Summer Lights in Nashville. They did this incredible show. Victor Wooten did a backflip… oh my fucking god! It was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

A few months later, I saw Bela come out on stage with Spinal Tap for their stop in Nashville. The late Vasset Clemmons also played with them. Spinal Tap may be a joke band, but let me tell you, live, those guys rocked!
