Jim Pitts – TSU Instrument Repair

The Tennessee State University Band is known around the country as a top notch band that runs like a well oiled machine. AS with any machine, sometime things break which can throw the whole machine out of whack. Fortunately TSU has Jim Pitts. Rob Wilds introduces us to the man who can fix any instrument and provide some life lessons at the same time.

Rob Wilds has been a part of the Tennessee Crossroads family since 1993. As one of our most frequent producers, and the recipient of several journalism awards throughout his various careers, Rob finds that the best reward for his work is meeting the fascinating people and visiting the interesting places he encounters in his travels. A presence in television, radio and print reporter for more than 20 years, Rob is a teacher, writer, producer and director as well as an actor (with appearances in feature films, television shows and on stage).
