      I concur. I had to know her name, so I thought I'd share it.

    What a great band you have on the late show.
    They smoothly backed up Bela Fleck like they have been playing together for years.
    I am sorry that I don't get to hear this part of the show until now.
    Looking forward to hearing it on youtube from now on. Thanks for this opportunity to hear what we have been missing all this time, cheers.

    I have loved this song for decades and still turn it all the way up when it comes through my Playlist. To me, it perfectly defines wide open spaces. And the bass solo...wow. Wooten should be proud, she's an honorary Flecktone.

    Bela Fleck is an icon! Thabks for bringing him to the show. I dont get to see him in my part of the world. He is such a joy to listen to. And the trumpetist and base player were also fantastic...well the whole band really, what a fun moment to witness and enjoy. Thanks so much! Maybe one day you can interview Bela, when he launches his next record perhaps?

    Bela was just in Royal Oak, MI, about 3 weeks ago with his outstanding band. I hadn't seen him perform in 20 years, so I treated myself & also introduced my boyfriend to his music via the show. My BF was blown away by his talent (of course!) Bela happened to mention from the stage that he was heading to Carnegie Hall soon...and as luck would have it, my BF & I were able to make that show 10 days later! Bela played "Big Country" at both shows, and this performance on The Late Show was as dynamic as the other performances with the band members he's been touring with! So fun! Thanks, Stephen, for appreciating great musical talent! ❤❤❤❤ = Stephen AND Bela!

    Every time I see and hear a banjo I always think that same huge influence over my youth in the 70's who was always playing the banjo extraordinarily well, although he is known as a comedian,
    Steve Martin. My 6th grade teacher, Ms. Studer, would let me recite Martin daily in her class, whatever part of his LP "A Wild and Crazy Guy" (that I still play to this day) was relative to what was happening at the time. She loved Martin too, so anytime I got the urge she would stop teaching and let me rip for 10 minutes if I wanted. It was by a million miles, my favorite year of school, and now, Ms. Studer, who I heard returned to Texas, should just be in her late 60s, and I hope doing Amazing! Just like she was to all of US in middle GA back in the late 70s. She was by far, the best teacher I ever had.
