Bela Fleck

Has anyone seen his new movie "Throw Down Your Heart"? I am undecided about going to see it this weekend, or waiting for the DVD. Some movies you really need to see in a a theater, and I'm thinking this might be one of them.

Just added to my netflix queue (although they don't have it yet). But, yes, unless you have a good sound system, a theater might be a better bet (if it will play near you). Thanks for the heads up, but sorry, no help to you.

Is that the one where he goes to Africa to learn about the origins of the banjo? I didn't realize that was a movie. I just thought it was something he did.

I love Bela Fleck. "Sinister Minister" is a favorite.

Bela's the best. Have you seen him with Abigail Washburn and Sparrow?

I went to the movie; it's excellent. Bela Fleck & Sascha Paladino were there and did a Q&A afterward. And Bela played a song! There's lots to admire about the movie. For one thing, it wasn't dominated by Bela Fleck's virtuosity; the focus was on the African musicians.

A side note: the movie theater is right next to a tattoo place and I watched someone get a tattoo while waiting in line. Ick. I'm never getting a tattoo.

The website says there is no local showing in my area....guess I'll wait for Netflix. Sounds like it should be an interesting watch. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
