Yo La Tengo- Film and Music Interview

During my visit to the 8th annual Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, in February 2011, I got to jump into the festival office and help them with tasks here and there.  One of those days my friend Clark Grant, the General Manager at KBGA radio, called me and said they needed someone to interview Yo La Tengo, who would be playing a show at the Film Festival that week.  I met Yo La Tengo's Ira Kaplan in the greenroom of the Wilma Theater.  Our 20 minute conversation aired on Missoula's KBGA 89.9fm on February 15th, the day of their show.
