I cant stand the way Mervyn came in with that crazy scat. He is just phenomenal.

Saw these guys in '89 and '90, both times with the incomparable Mervyn Warren. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones rocked the house as the opening act to the '89 show in San Antonio. After the break, all you could see was a dark stage and 6 lonely mics. But then, ever-so-gently, a slow fade-in of luscious harmony like none I'd heard before. Once the audience caught on that it was the Star-Spangled Banner, the place went ballistic. It set the stage for an unforgettable night of vocal theatrics.

Sooo much fun; both to hear and watch!! Gr8 visual entertainment! You know you rock! Hey, I just noticed they'd put their ages after their names.
