Deeps Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Managed to catch the Barr Brothers who were absolutely inspiring. Also caught Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, and Victor Wooten.They were amazing and did a great job of staying out of eachother's way. Stanley Clarke had a moving solo section on the upright bass.Funny story: I saw Victor Wooten waiting in line to buy a mango carved in the shape of a flower.I approached cautiously :Me: Are you Victor Wooten?VW: I was an hour ago.Me: Ohh uhh well that was a great show.VW: nothingMe: I too am a bass player.VW: nothingMe: Well thank you for the music and welcome back to Montreal.VW: OkMoral of the story : Victor Wooten is really short.

c-towns Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Shorter than you? What are you, like 5'4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeps Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I'll have you know I am 5'6 and 3/4s and if I do some yoga I scrape 5'7. "I was an hour ago" that's not very nice. Especially for someone who runs camps about being a spiritual player and meditating yourself into playing 32nd notes incessantly. Thought he was approachable....guess I am not to get between a man and his floral citrus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
