Victor Wooten, his drummer and his kids did a live show on NPR's Talk of the Nation today. It was a great performance, and the questions revolved his aaudio book, The Music Lesson.
Check it out on National Public Radio's website.

I loved his discussion of dynamics, tone and phrasing being a part of music theory.
I especially loved his comment that an understanding of space was key and that everyone loved playing with the drummer he was in studio with (forgot his name) because he "barely plays anything". Nice. |

Still, 'twas cool.
Edit: read the transcript, I'm wrong. JD said "Thank you" and "Yeah".

Having his kids come out and sing and play was awesome. His son is a great drummer. Both Vic and JD are great musicians and great people.I got to spend some time with both and came away with more than a music lesson for sure.

| | | | I almost clobbered Vic in the head with a pole supporting a wing of a giant crane puppet back in August.
Thought process went something like this:
(Swings pole around to flap wing) @#$%! Whew, that was a close one. I almost knocked that dude out. (does double take) Holy &%^$, is that Vic Wooten? Yes, it is! (ask co-puppeteer for confirmation, and get it). Good god, I just almost concussed my musical idol. |
