On Today's episode I give my thoughts on The Music Lesson by Victor Wooten. This book had been suggested to me for years, and I am so glad I finally took the time to read it. Even if it is somewhat bizarre and fantastical at times, I'm sure it will be one of the most memorable musical books I read in my lifetime.
