"If you have a chance, you might enjoy checking out a series of video interviews I did which (happily) won the prestigious "Telly-Award" recently on roots television. Just go to their site, hit on "Program Guide," and write in "Hank Jones" under "Search" to have my programs pop up. For added fun, you might get a kick out of a two-part interview I gave regarding my many featured roles in Disney movies back in the stone age on ultimate disney. Go to their site, look for "All Interviews," and there I'll be. I was so proud to be a part of Walt's legacy in those wonderful films."
