So I just found out my mom graduated high school with Victor Wooten

Denbeigh High School in Newport News, VA class of '82. Said he used to do gymnastics and played in the band and that they had a bunch of classes together.

What makes it even more of a coincidence, is that Im meeting him tomorrow at a clinic

haha...should be funny tomorrow. My mom wants me to ask him if he remembers the "Weber twins (her maiden name)." My mom and her twin sister both went to school with him so I have a feeling he will remember who they are. Should be interesting. I cant believe I didnt learn about this until today

I went to high school (and played a few gigs) with Doug Powell.

That's him on the left with Ray Davies.

He's giving a clinic in VA Beach tonight.

My fifth grade teacher's husband was also a friend of his in high school, he and she should both be there tonight. Really cool to have such "celebrities" to have grown up so nearby.

I just got back from the clinic.

No pictures, but wow, what a momentous event. If you ever get the chance, do not pass up seeing them. They are an amazing pair of people, and musicians.

I got my BONGO signed, even had Anthony give me a bass clef on my favorite pick, and we traded some stories. It bears repeating: they are wonderful people.

For those TBers who were there but didn't know me, I was about 5 rows from the stage, and I was the guy in blue/glasses who asked about visualizing a desired technique to learn.
