1 Comment on Van Dyke Parks (2010) – Teaser

Back in September, 2010, I had the tremendous opportunity to interview Van Dyke Parks on two related occasions. The second time was live before an audience at Pop Montreal. The first time was over the phone for the Mich Vish Interracial Morning Show!, which I co-hosted with my wife Michelle. Here for you now, as it aired on September 29, 2010, is my radio interview with Van Dyke Parks.
