Forget that I'm a bassist Forget that I'm a fan of Victor Wooten. That is an amazing commencement "talk." The quote from his mother might be the best quote I've every heard.
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I love this to the moon and back. Thanks, Victor - for changing my life. In 2005 you changed my world, and I was blessed that you were my very first concert ever. I was 17, losing my mind in the front row of Market Square in Knoxville, Tennessee. I am simply blessed to have gotten to live my dream of working with you all for a short time a few years later. Thanks for everything.
And this is why Victor is so respected around the world. Not only he can play but he can also pronounce words of wisdom and inspire other people to be a good human being. He makes you feel you have a brother shedding some light on your path. Thanks Victor!
The whole thing impressive...and the fact that this human being took the time to positively address the graduates was just an example of being a caring person and I hope he gets imitated.

the fact that he's playing "The Lesson" gives this speech a little extra meaning. Absolutely amazing.
Rewatching this amazing video, and I notice around

I'm a simple man
Victors parents did a great job of raising him.
The craziest thing is that as incredible as Vic is at bass, he is better at being a person :) his mother would be so proud

South Africa needs you Victor Wooten.
I couldn't stop crying from this speech. He's truly an angel!
The is the single best thing I have ever watched on UA-cam. Victor Wooten is the absolute man.
this might be the coolest thing ive ever heard. he is on a different level. this speech should be shown to every graduating high school senior
Grooving by himself. Then speaking and grooving simultaneously. Amazing.

And the Dalai Lama went online and watched this and said, "heck, why didn't I learn to play bass".
