So, when ESPN and Fox Sports cover this inevitable scandal today, will the segment be sponsored by Draft Kings or Caesar’s? https://t.co/xjRr3eIOOb

@calabro13sports Happy Anniversary, Lisa and Dave.

Great to see recognition for Sally Mann's new book, Art Work. I produced the audio version of the book, with engineer Graham Spice and tech mgr. Michael Todd. Thanks to Sally for a great experience again (same team for her 2015 audio book of Hold Still).https://t.co/eOUElHx7kj

An affiliation switch announced while I was in Atlanta and a station group mega-deal announced several weeks later. Here's the story of one station's newsroom early in a consequential summer for local TV news. https://t.co/EkGTduMQDo

When your neighbor also turns out to be the guy who gives you your first break in music: Bass-baritone jazz singer Everett Greene remembers the impact Wes Montgomery had on him and on music.https://t.co/XzbCMWgHfu

@bkravitz Oh, there will be complaints. They’ll come from the boardroom at ABC. Two “small market” teams, ABC fears, would translate to small ratings.

Recording sessions used to involve the full band or orchestra recording together. When there was a mistake, EVERYONE had to start again. Wes Montgomery's nephew, Mike Montgomery, tells the story of one such recording session and how Wes handled Take 2. https://t.co/ANdahhJZeJ

Releasing a new round of videos on our YouTube channel Further Wes Bound--material that didn't make it into the film documentary Wes Bound: The Genius of Wes Montgomery. Today we offer 20-time Grammy winner Pat Metheny on how he became a jazz guitar player.https://t.co/uWkofKOWhL

@MaryStirsman @Logically_JC Sad you have to explain that.

@RichNye13 @IMSMuseum @IMS Love seeing this. A nice slice of humanity.

@GottliebShow I thought he wrote non-fiction.

Great job by Kyle Long in his interview of one of my heroes--Carlos Santana--talking about another hero, Wes Montgomery. Happy 102nd birthday, John Leslie Montgomery. https://t.co/ZAEsFkb4ap

@AllenSW23 @ACPD_VA @CBS19News Thanks for the information. Looking forward to any updates.

Platinum and Gold Record jazz guitarist and singer George Benson, a 10-time Grammy winner, talks about Wes Montgomery and Jimmy Smith, and what it was like to open for Thelonious Monk. Check out our YouTube channel, Further Wes Bound. https://t.co/et6Rbb4Uum

@Deggans Mothership: I call it the Taj Mahal.

@bkravitz Interesting LBJ/Walter Cronkite analogy.

This marks the 40th Election Night I have supervised--28 primaries and general elections in Indianapolis TV and 12 Novembers in academia at Washington & Lee. I learned from John Paul at WCIA, Champaign in the 80s that months of prep is involved. Hoping that prep pays off tonight.

What's happening, X asks? How about talking a little music instead of politics? We do that with the great Chicago trumpet player and recording artist Pharez Whitted about his Hampton family roots and connections to Wes Montgomery. https://t.co/p26ruxwEIS

[Kevin Finch @Flyingjibe]

What's this about Wes Montgomery not "reading music?" Grammy-winning rock guitarist Eric Johnson says Wes understood music theory even without any classes. He's our next video on Further Wes Bound. https://t.co/D54QcMCGAB
