Artist Interview - Roger Day

Last week, Roger Day sent Mindy a coupon for a yak. To find out more, Mindy set up an interview (not a sneak attack) with Roger for today.

Roger, his son Jacob, and their friend Jake came on the air, from Franklin, TN to talk about the Yaks for Youth. Mindy owns "part" of yak; Roger days it can be whatever part of the yak she wants it to be. Is a yakalope a really fast yak?

Jake had a booth at an alternative Christmas gifts fair, selling coupons for the Yaks for Youth program. Jake is ten and he is a yak salesman. Yaks are an endagered species. Boarding schools in Tibet (a very poor country) have difficulties provide for its students, and a yak can give them milk, fur, yak patties (to be burned for warmth). After a yak dies, they can use the skin and meat as well. They are very useful animals.

You can buy someone a yak at anytime of the year. It makes a great gift. A Yak Revolution in the making!

Both Jacob and Jake are members of the Yakalulah Chorus who sang so well -- and so loud -- and the CD. And they're both in Roger's Webelos Den!
