	Béla Fleck: Perpetual Motion : Review by Russ Sprouse - Guitar Noise
		Béla is still a young man, yet I feel he has done more to expand the horizons of this humble instrument than anyone.
		Béla and Edgar have formed a strong friendship, and at Edgar’s urging, Béla has developed an incredible repertoire of classical pieces arranged for the 5-string.
		But early in Béla’s development, he studied with an inventive and experimental banjo player named Tony Trischka, and perhaps Tony’s influence spurred Béla into looking for new and unusual ways to branch out from the traditional.
