Almost Famous Since 1969

It's time to try adding a video to this site, and what better one than 'One on One,' the PBS interview show hosted by award-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa? I flew to Boston in late '09 for the chat, and it kicked off the 2010 season. But not in my own hometown, San Francisco. What-EV.


Anyway, for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, KQED aired the show the other day, and I mentioned it on facebook. But not everyone could catch it, so I provided a link to it, since it lives on the One on One/WGBH site. So, here's the full 25-minute segment, including me serenading Maria with a little Dean Martin. One on One

 

And if you're short on time, here's a 3-minute teaser that's on
