Victors book...The Music Lesson. A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music... is a very cool extremely imaginitive book.
There is a chapter where he meets a homeless harmonica player named Uncle Clyde who teaches Wooten some lessons about performing music. Below is an excerpt from the book where he is talking and learning from Uncle Clyde :)

I think it is difficult to use this approach if you are performing blues these days. Who has the patience to build like that when everybody wants a flash and an explosion right away? note sarcasm...
this is, in a way, related to the staying on the one trance blues mentioned in a recent thread, but you have to be damn skilled to do it right i think.

Victor is quite amazing and hearing this thought (a common theme of his) validated through a harp player is nice. Similarly, on the new American Idol when Harry Connick Jr chastises singers for their "runs" (vibrato scale shutoff bs) he's referring to the same thing.
