The Tillers interviewed by Tom Brokaw, June 2009

Back in 2007 a group of young men played together in public for the first time on the stage at the Metamora Old Time Music Festival.  Last week they were interviewed by Tom Brokaw for his current documentary project "American Character Along Highway 50". The Tillers blog is here, with more information and a photo of Tom "playing" the fiddle.

The segment is posted now on USA network
