I went to the same middle school as Bela. We never really hung out together though we had some of the same classes. This kindhearted guy was the only student in that entire huge school who came and asked me if I was alright after one of the times I was bullied. After all these years, I still feel so grateful for that. I celebrate your musicianship & talent. I hope all is well with you and your loved ones. Thank you, Bela.

Wow. This is such a beautiful story -- and a testimony to Bela's character, which without a doubt has guided his musical aesthetic through the years.

I accidently came across these guys playing Strider and after listening to it 50,000 times in a row ordered it on-line and can't wait to get it so I can listen to it no-stop until it disintegrates. Instead of going to heaven when I die, I'd rather just listen to them.

I gotta say... I've watched / listened to this KZbin vid maybe 150 times. (the music... probably 1000 times since I have the double album). These musicians are the best of the best of the best on the planet (possibly the entire galaxy) today. But geeeeee whiz... Abigail did do an unbelievable job of capturing not only the individual musicians, but also the collaboration, emotions, solos and even the nature outside of the car port. The panning and focusing on each solo was prescient. Thanks Abigail Washburn! And BTW, you are an exceedingly gifted banjoist yourself.

NOT A MISSED NOTE. Michael Cleveland has taken his playing to another level (reminder: HE"S COMPLETELY BLIND). He has added more finesse and breadth. IMO, he's now nearing the O'Connor level. Sierra and Bryan are incredible. Bela is Bela. He has redefined the banjo.
