One of the best things I ever saw on TV was an Austin City Limits show with Bela Fleck, today's banjo super-virtuoso. He had Earl Scruggs on as guest. Bela was dressed modern-casual with fairly long hair. Earl had put on a little weight from his younger days. Earl wore a suit that looked like it was stiff as a board, had a white sidewall haircut and wore a white Open Road Stetson hat that was precisely aligned with the horizon. Bela would solo with some incredibly complicated lick, then step back from the mic. Earl would step up, completely expressionless, and with consummate econonmy of motion, cut Bela--he would outplay Bela's latest fantastic lick. While Earl was showing him how it was done, Bela grinned like a madman, then stepped up to the mic to outdo Earl. When it was his turn, Earl would step up, never show any effort or emotion and outdo Bela. It went on until the crowd was in an absolute frenzy. So was I, just watching it on TV. RNJ
