A Weather Channel "Local on the 8s"
1990s classic.

I remember before YouTube buying drum videos on VHS because they had cats like Victor, Will Lee and Anthony Jackson on them, they weren't cheap either. Kids don't know how good they have it! / Old man perspective off..........

Victor was a fantastic player and from everything I have read about him, just a great guy that people loved to be around. I always thought it was funny to read of him being described as a 'Jaco clone' in his early days. If anything, that's a compliment. You have to have some talent and some balls to step into the shoes of the most notable and high profile bassist on the planet at the time, and yet Victor Bailey did just that!

Genuinely amazing player and a huge inspiration. He was witty, funny and his playing was always very articulate and emotional - a rare quality.
And he had amazing singing voice...


I really liked this take on Footprints..

Fabulous player, loved his Fender sig five string, though I could never get the hang of it. Just a four-banging knuckledragger.
