Since launching Twin Peaks Blog nearly eight years ago, I’ve enjoyed the “whole damn town” of folks who love David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks and the actors, musicians and crew who worked on this wonderful and strange show.

When Twin Peaks first aired in spring 1990, audiences had never seen (or heard) anything quite like it on network television. Immediately, people were drawn into the music of this wonderful and strange world. As part of the Julee in June take over of Twin Peaks Blog, here is an interview by Kent and Keith Zimmerman…
