holy shit I just saw this 9 yr old on Letterman, and his 2 brothers playing bluegrass music. This kid blew my mind playing a banjo. When I was 9 all I could play was the radio. I know, nobody cares about bluegrass music. I don't care one way or the other, but its USA American. This kid is unbelievable.

I saw them play on Huckabee the other night and wow. I have a 9 year old niece and I can't even imagine her being able to do what that kid does. I love bluegrass music. I grew up around it.

Bela is great...of course the other musicians that play with him are unreal too.
