Lu Ryden interviews Ed Ames and Peter Nero on KNTV, circa 1968

1968 · KNTV (Television station : San Jose, Calif.)

Lu Ryden interviews singer Ed Ames and pianist Peter Nero on two segments from Ryden's show on San Jose's KNTV Channel 11. The dressing room they are interviewed in is similar to the Bimbo's 365 dressing room in Ryden's segment with Jerry Van Dyck, suggesting this was filmed at Bimbo's after a performance. Ames, sporting a beard, sits cozily with Ryden on a sofa in his dressing room, after his performance. They talk about his beard, the messages in his songs "Who Will Answer" and "What Color Is a Man?", song writing, and a typical day for Ames. Nero and Ryden also appear to be talking in a dressing room, after his performance. She asks him about doing his own musical arrangements, his musical education and training, and practicing. Part of a collection of films from Ryden's shows and interviews on KNTV between 1965-1970. The original films are part of History San Jose's permanent collection.
