Béla comes to town

The Flecktones played at Liberty Hall here in Lawrence last night.   But the highlight of the show was after they were done playing.

Had a chance to get Béla to sign my banjo after the show.  These guys are always super nice to their fans after shows.

Watching Pamelia Kursten on Theremin, and Jake Shimabukuru on ukulele was probably the highlight of the show.  If I remember correctly, this was their first show together.

Béla played a banjo owned by John Hartford for his solo.
