My middle finger is getting going again after a bike crash and dislocation a month ago. It’s slow progress but I’m stoked to *try* to play along with this record - My Bluegrass Heart by @belafleckbanjo - who I’m going to see perform this weekend 🪕❤️🪕 20 years ago to the month, I began playing banjo after becoming enchanted hearing Bela, @sambushband , @jerrydouglas , @bryansuttond28 , Mark Shatz and Gabe Witcher perform at Strawberry Music Festival (it was a board recording someone had uploaded to Napster). To say their music, and the gift of that banjo, changed my life is an understatement. To have been able to follow in their path and make a life out of playing music around the world has exceeded my wildest dreams, although the level of excellence and eloquence they’ve achieved through the string music genre is something else altogether: an incredible pairing of innovation and tradition. Hoping I might get to hear “Tentacle Dragon (The Revenge of)” tomorrow night 😻. #risingappalachia #acousticguitar #belafleck #billystrings

Bela holds a special place in my heart...one of my first concerts was seeing him with the Flecktones @ The Jefferson Center
