We'll discuss a work in progress describing properties of p-adic L-functions of a modular form whose Galois representation is residually reducible, paying particular attention to the case of the elliptic curve X_0(11) with p=5. As an application, we prove cases of a conjecture of Greenberg about mu-invariants of Selmer groups of elliptic curves. This is joint work with Rob Pollack.
