So said North Hollywood Regional Senior Librarian Arthur Pond. Indeed it was!

Five-time Grammy award-winning artist, world-class bass player, musician's musician and author Victor Wooten drew a standing-room-only crowd despite seriously inclement weather and hurricane warnings (this is no exaggeration - Huntington and Long Beach-area residents were advised that they might need to take cover). It’s coming down hard and fast here in Lower California - holy mackerel!
