Actually it's a little embarrassing to admit I don't have any Bela Fleck albums. I've known about his stuff for years, just never got around to buying any. I vow to rectify that. Thank God for iTunes.
I didn't know that about Julliard! Funny story: my housemate played his saxophone in a practice room at CIM, and the janitor tried to kick him out. (There are (were?) no saxophonists at CIM, LOL. Only orchestral instruments.) Their classical guitar program rocks, though.

Bela Fleck ROCKS! Totally!
Do you have his Perpetual Motion album? You might love it, given your musical history! The Bach Inventions are way cool.

Mark,
Bela is my idol.... I have followed him and have copied his banjo stlye for many years.
Did you know he is a graduate of Juliard? With a major in Banjo?
See if you can find some NewGrass Revival from the early to mid 80's. Some of the best instrumentation there ever was......
