“remarkably rich tenor voice” [VALL]  
Following the feedback we got from our previous Legends of the BSJ episode on Edgar W. Smith, we thought we'd continue with another.

His tenor voice graced many dinners of the Baker Street Irregulars and other Sherlock Holmes societies, and his scholarship still stands strong today.In addition to the audio clips of Montgomery, we have Sherlockian news, listener comments, Madeline Quinones' segment "A Chance of Listening," and of course the Canonical Couplet quiz.
