Lost Peter Tork 1999 Interview

An extensive and wide-ranging interview with Peter Tork from 1999. Peter came to WGLD, Indianapolis for a morning interview, and then signed autographs for fans later that day.

Okay, this interview wasn't exactly "lost." It aired once, live in 1999, and the recording has been in a box in my closet on a cassette ever since. I just listened for the first time, after 20 years.

All of us at the station remember Peter as being charming, open, honest and smart. A lovely man, and we're glad we got to spend a day with him. Hope you enjoy this interview!
