60. Ran across an interview IN ENGLISH with George Kooymans and Frank Carillo.

Unfortunately it isn't for their new album. It was done 12 years ago, when they were promoting their previous album, On Location. It's the sort of interview they'd almost certainly be doing now, if George was healthy, as he was then. George was 62 then, Frank was not quite 60, but they were obviously happy about recording new music and touring to promote the album. I've seen a number of more recent interviews George did with the other members of Vreemde Kostgangers, his supergroup trio, about their music, but those were all in Dutch. This 2010 interview was for Parkpop, a Dutch music festival, and I'm not sure why it's in English when Carillo almost certainly speaks Dutch fairly well after working in the Netherlands so often. I'd wonder if it might have been intended for a British audience (Parkpop is a huge festival, draws hundreds of thousands of people), but the video has George's last name spelled Kooijmans, a Dutch spelling I've seen only occasionally, and the text I saw on that channel was in Dutch.

Anyway, it's an enjoyable interview, showing how well they get along -- they'd already been friends for nearly 20 years when this was done.
