Fleck with a Rick

As a big fan of Bela and the Flecktones, I had always wondered if Bela had owned/played a Rick banjo. The answer is yes, apparently, as one of the tracks on their new cd was recorded with a 1967 5 string electric banjo.

Just thought I'd let y'all know.

Cool - I'd love to see a picture of him playing one - can anyone dig one up?

For you Dave Barry fans, I always thought that his garage band had the greatest of names: The Phlegmtones.
