    Paul McCartney has been awarded the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album, for his 2012 release ‘Kisses on the Bottom.’ The announcement was made prior to the show’s televised portion.

    This win brings McCartney’s career Grammy total to 16. ‘Kisses on the Bottom’ is an album largely comprised of lush cover versions of songs he enjoyed as a child, with guest appearances from Stevie Wonder and Eric Clapton. He performed the album’s lead single, ‘My Valentine,’ with help from Joe Walsh at last year’s Grammy Awards ceremony.

    Keiko had a chance to speak with Stuart during her visit to NAMM. Take it away, Keiko!

    KG: You've done a lot of NAMMs. This is my first NAMM. What do you like about NAMM? How is it for you?

    SH: It gives me a chance to catch up and see a lot of my musician friends that I haven't seen (in a while) and helps me make more contacts. It's a blast!

    If you haven't already, take the time to listen/watch Keiko's interviews from NAMM. She's talking one-on-one with the best bassists in the world, guys it would cost you $1000 an hour to get lessons from, and they're handing out free advice, tips, and info. You owe it to yourself to listen up. FYI, Keiko attended NAMM on her own dime so she could bring all this info and these interviews to the Row. Make it worth her while, give her a shout out.
    Thanks, Keiko!

    Without going into too many of the tedious details, some of Keiko's video interviews were just too massive in size to post for your enjoyment, so we have one video and two audio-only interviews. Still wonderful, for sure! We might be able to make the originals available later through DropBox, but we wanted to get the content ...
