Sing, Sing a Song Saturday

Sing, Sing a Song Saturday is all about me discovering something that is different. I don't want to post things that you and I have more than likely heard before. I want to find something different. It could be from another country, someone singing from the streets of NY, and more.

This week I'm covering Victor Wooten. He's not unknown, I just didn't know him. I feel like I've been hiding under a rock, since I haven't heard of him. He's actually a recipient of five Grammy Awards. He was also awarded, "Bass Player of the Year" 3 times in a row in Bass Player magazine. He's been featured in Rolling Stone as well.

Victor is an American bass player, composer, author, teacher, and producer.

Victor is the youngest of 5 boys, he started playing bass when he was 2 years old, and was performing with his family's band at the age of 5.



Here he is playing with a broken string!

Here he's playing at a Dave Mathew's concert.

  1. He really is talented. It's those that start out so early like he did at 2, you just know they are going to make great things!
