Recent Gene Parsons Interview
Recent Gene Parsons Interview (03/30/2009)
From Bill Buchanan:
Hello,
you might be interested in this recent radio interview Gene Parsons did with a half-hour public affairs program called "Davisville" on KDRT, a low-power community radio station in Davis, California. (Davis is near Sacramento -- about 80 miles northeast of San Francisco.)
It's a community radio program, so it lacks the polish of a professional show. But among other things he talks about his music, the Byrds, "Gunga Din," Stringbender, the book and CD he would like to finish, and a scale steam engine he's building.
Go to http://www.kdrt.org/station/archives/867 and listen to, or download, the March 30 program.
Regards,
Bill Buchanan - "Davisville" host (and lifelong fan of the Byrds' music)
