What Do Victor Bailey, Richard Bona, Victor Wooten, and Marcus Miller have in common?

[masterfader87]

All of their signatures plus some are on this BASSball!
I won it in a raffle at Gerald Veasley's Bass Boot Camp in 2004.
Just thought I'd share it with the TB community.
Thanks for looking.

There are three signatures I can't make out but the list goes something like this:

-Victor Wooten
-Christian McBride
-Marcus Miller
-Victor Bailey
-Richard Bona
-Gerald Veasley

P.S. Sorry for some blurry pictures, I'm no photographer

Even more strange-did you notice that each of their names includes the letter "i" Try to tell me that's just accidental!

Except for Gerald Veasely which makes it a real mystery.
