A brilliantly told story, this is an inspirational account of how four Baltimore-born youngsters defied seemingly insurmountable odds, formed the greatest high school team ever, while making their mark in the NBA.
Former NBA star Muggsy Bogues joins DG to talk about the brand new ESPN 30 for 30 documentary "Baltimore Boys", which chronicles the Dunbar high school basketball teams of the 1980's. Scott Fowler also updates the audience on current Carolina Panthers training camp news.
What is the greatest high school basketball team of all time? Many would argue it was the Dunbar Poets of the early '80s, which featured future NBA players Muggsy Bogues, Reggie Lewis, David Wingate, and Reggie Williams. Director Sheldon Candis joins us to talk about his upcoming documentary about the team, "Baltimore Boys," and then the legendary Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues tells us what it was like being part of that celebrated squad, the secret to making it in the NBA at 5'3", and the time he blocked Manute Bol in a game of one-on-one.
Welcome to episode 12 of Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends. This week’s episode is the second installment in the Baltimore Boys trilogy, featuring Luke Chohany: a fantastic old time and bluegrass guitarist, and I gotta say… he really does have a lovely voice; we take a sweet little break from being rowdy boys and Luke sings a couple and it is fine, fine, fine singing.

Part One in the "Baltimore Boys" series, wherein I jam with the friends (and tenants) of Brad Kolodner. We discuss growing up in the household of hammered-dulcimer titan, Ken Kolodner, and play some of their best modern takes on traditional tunes. This episode features three clawhammer banjo duets, which you don't hear everyday (hopefully). There's an exciting tension to these recordings; lining up bum-diddies (the basic clawhammer stroke) is no easy task. But I think we made something special, and I hope you agree. Also, I found out Brad's a straight-up DJ! Dude's pro in an interview; I've got a lot to learn. Recorded at Brad's Place in 2016
