Have you ever been to a concert, left knowing you were in the


presence of greatness? I've been lucky enough to have done this with 2 artists. When I was a kid(8-10) back in the early 70's, I went with my grandmother to see Roy Clark. That was the most talented human I've ever come across. Most people hear his name and think Hee Haw, uh NO! The man plays about every instrument known to man, and very well I might add. He about blew my mind listening to him play Classical piano.
My 2nd is Bela Fleck (several times), WOW! He is to Earl Scruggs, what Earl is to everyone else. Not only is he a great bluegrass player, he's great at jazz & classical. Bela has an electric banjo, the sound will blow your mind. He tours with his wife Abigail playing bluegrass and his band The Flecktones playing everything.
I always have wished I had seen Bonzo/Peart, Hendrix/Clapton/SRV/BB or Entwisle/Lee. Oh well. You can't have it all. Where would you put it?

PS- Herbie Hancock would be way cool too!
