Banjo player quotes
" A little while later, the Flecktones were doing a five night gig in Nashville at a place called Cafe Milano. It's a little jazz club and we had different guests every night. "

Bela Fleck
" A lot of these different ethnic elements, that's always something that I love anyway and I'm excited when I hear it... ethnic elements from any country, especially blended in with the group. "

Bela Fleck
" A lot of times, music gets changed between what the musician originally intended and what ends up in the consumer's hands. "

Bela Fleck
" Actually coloring the songs with different people, giving every song it's own identity by having different people play wasn't a bad thing. "

Bela Fleck
" And my electronic gear, I haven't even scratched the surface of what's available on that instrument - it's ridiculous! "

Bela Fleck
" And that's one of the neat things about having records out on a small label, because if I had a record that had been out for ten years on Warner Bros., chances are it would have been dropped by now if it sunk below a certain amount of sales. "

Bela Fleck
" Aside from the three of us, what completes the Flecktones for me is having another melodic instrument. "

Bela Fleck
" Because we don't fit in anywhere, in some weird way we can fit in everywhere. "

Bela Fleck
" Being unusual has worked for us where at times that was a real problem with other bands I've been in. "

Bela Fleck
" Bluegrass is a very focused musical effort. It's all about playing, well, singing, too. "

Bela Fleck
" Bluegrass is like a touchstone for me, when I go back and play it, it's very, very relaxing for me. Especially since I usually get to play bluegrass with the very, very greatest players of that music, so it makes it very fun. "

Bela Fleck
" But I don't really come out of that country jazz kind of thing. "

Bela Fleck
" But I've always thought that there is a community aspect to music sometimes that's what's hard to... feel like you're keeping all your marbles to yourself or something when you don't ask somebody great to get involved. "

Bela Fleck
" But in Bluegrass, it's always been a given, and a demand that you had to be an excellent player. "

Bela Fleck
" But when I play my own music, or when I play new music, there's much more stress and intensity of thinking about how I'm gonna make it work. "
