If it’s Sunday morning (or the first thing I do when I get home from touring…), you will find me on the couch with coffee and clicker in hand!!! Each week I record “Bill Moyers Journal” (PBS), “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” (ABC), and “Meet The Press” (NBC).
I began watching Bill Moyers in 2003 when he hosted the PBS program called “NOW”. After a brief retirement he returned with a new program, also on PBS, called “Bill Moyers Journal”. If I had a penny for each time I’ve said, “I’m going to write Bill Moyers a letter…”, I could easily pay the extra cost of gas today.
A few weeks ago I finally wrote Mr. Moyers a letter and included a copy of our new CD. Please understand that Bill Moyers is my hero…as I watch his work each, week I am reminded that there is hope that honesty has not been silenced, hope that integrity is still worth standing up for, hope that justice can be served by making people’s stories heard.
To my amazement, I received a hand written response in the mail today from Mr. Moyers. There is no single act that has ever brought me such joy as opening this letter and reading the words he wrote me.
This past weekend took us from Canada to ND, onward to IA and eventully home…4 shows, 5 days, 4,200 miles….After many long road trips this summer and a very long weekend of travel, coming home to find this letter made every mile seem worth it!!!
This has been a great day!!!
