Victor Wooten redefines the word musician. Regaled as the most influential bassist since Jaco Pastorius, Victor is known for his solo recordings and tours, and as a member of the Grammy-winning supergroup, Béla Fleck & The Flecktones. He is an innovator on the bass guitar, as well as a talented composer, arranger, producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. But those gifts only begin to tell the tale of this Tennessee titan. Victor is the loving husband and devoted father of four; the youngest
On November 3rd of 2016 I went to listen to Bela Fleck and The Flecktones live at the Quick. The style of music that they play is called jazz fusion and I have even heard of this type of music, so I was interested to see how I would like it. The Flecktones have a variety of different instruments so I thought that would be a cool twist. Some guys that make up the band are of course Bela Fleck, Jeff Coffin, Future Man, Victor Wooten, and many more. The way they set up the stage was unique. They had
areas hidden in the simplest of landscapes; despite how Carson finds beauty in places untouched, while Sanders finds beauty in places taunted by human touch. The sea and the shoreline have captivated Rachel Carson, in her essay, “The Marginal World”, where she writes about the spectacles found on beaches. Along where the sea and land meet, there will be bright-colored trash and sometimes treasures found. Carson looks past the trash and is willing to dig for her treasure in between the land and sea
several explorers were sent to claim land for the countries they represented. One explorer was Hernando Cortez who was sent by Spain to claim the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan. John Cabot was sent to explore what is now Canada by King Henry VII of England. Another notorious explorer would be Christopher Columbus who initially was the first to actually find the New World. Although explorers come from different countries, they all share a desire to accumulate land and wealth. Hernando Cortez, of Spain

Shelley urges the need for individuals to reevaluate their future. Through this text, it demonstrates how discovery is a transformative process for individuals including the uncovering of the conceals and reexamining what is known. By uncovering what is hidden, it allows the persona to find that nothing lasts forever, no matter how powerful a person is, they are not immortal nor will their works last forever. From the traveller’s perspective, his physical discovery is described through imagery, “Half sunk
The End of Hidden Ireland by Robert James Scally is a unique case study of something entirely not unique: the lives of the poorest peasants of Ireland before and during the Great Famine. The story of Ballykilcline, a small townland in County Roscommon, is unique because of how they handled their imminent eviction off the land, and how they worked together as a community to try and survive. Yet, that closeness, as Scally will prove, is the very thing that kept the community (and doubtlessly, other
claimed to list five hidden gems that were in or around Tallahassee. Being an expert (at least I like to think so) on the Tallahassee area, I took the bait and clicked the link. I was happy that they included Maclay Gardens and the trail loop at Elinor Klapp-Phipps Park but I was sad that all of the other items mentioned were located one to two hours outside of Tallahassee. It really is a shame because Tallahassee is one of the most beautiful cities on the planet and has tons of hidden natural gems. I
