Béla Fleck Instagram – On May 19, 2013 my son Juno was born—three weeks early. I was across the country, in California and couldn’t get home til early the following morning. I took the red eye from San Fran, with a layover in Dallas. I was sitting in Dallas under the fluorescent lights around four in the morning, waiting for the first flight to Nashville, seriously bummed to have missed the birth, when it occurred to me to pull out my banjo and write a birthday tune to bring home to him. And this tune, based on the syllables of his name, popped out very quickly. I showed it to Chick and it quickly developed into a very playful tune. One of my fondest memories is of Chick sitting at the piano with Juno in his lap, jamming together.
