NBC's Lester Holt on bass

Article I hadn't seen before, from two or three years ago: Lester Holt

There's a pic of him playing his Gibson SG Bass; unfortunately it's with Starship.

Ha! Cool. He used to be on our regular network news here in Chicago.

He played a fretless Jazz with the Captain and Tenielle one morning when I was working. He was flat. In key, just off on intonation. Still, it takes balls to do that, what with his three-plus-show-a-day, 365 day schedule keeping him from practicing. He's on the air almost as much as reruns of Law & Order.
