Prince and Larry Graham attended Victor Wooten's show at First Avenue in MPLS on Monday Feb. 11th. They met up with Victor and the band at the show at well. Below is the diary log from the tour that drummer, JD Blair compiled about the MPLS show. Most of the band members say something about the special night. Victor is so funky and he and JD Blair have been on my radio show many times. Check out their sites: www.jdblair.net and www.victorwooten. com

Hands of Soul here,,,,,Joseph Wooten....I think we left a funky
footprint in the soil of Minneapolis....in front of two of the funk
pioneers, Prince and Larry Graham...Honored that I got a chance to meet them
both.....technical problems could not stop the flow of the music....I hope
Larry enjoyed my imitation of him on the mic.....now...on to Indy!

Yo Peeps,...It's FLEX. Tonight was an action packed night. I had the
honor of meeting Prince and Larry Graham. I got to play with Bela' Fleck. Of
course, it's always an honor to be on stage with Victor and the gang. It got
a `lil crazy on stage with so much goin' on and all the technical problems I
had to address,....but it's ALL GOOD! My honey, Toni, is meeting us in
Indianapolis tomorrow. I can't wait to see her. Maybe if I go to sleep now,
tomorrow will come faster.

Thank you Minneapolis! You've treated us real fine!
This is Merav, and I am so thrilled to be here. I am feeling extremely
grateful to get to share time with such beautiful people and meet many along
the way. "Sure do love good people". Thank you everybody!
What fun!

Hello Everyone, this is Vic. Tonight was a treat. I actually got to
meet the legendary Master of the Funk Bass, "LARRY GRAHAM". It wasoooo cool.
He and Prince came to the show together. We were honered to have them
there. The show was a good one. Lots of good people and good fun. it was
real cool when Joe did his Larry Graham imitation. I hope Larry liked it.
(I'm sure he did, It was very funky)
Bela and Edgar played up the street before we did so I went and crashed
their show. We worked up a skit where I walked on stage from out of the
audience and picked up Edgar bass. We then went into a two on one bass
routine. It went over well. I then picked up my bass and played Edgar's song
"Green Slime" with them. Then Later on, Bela and Edgar came to our show So
we got Bela up to play with us. What a night.
It's such a treat to be doing what we're doing. I thank all of U fo helping
to make my life possible. I hope to see U soon. Peace, -V-
