Bill Miller

In keeping with the soul of the Johnny Cash Show, what would we be without some naked truth about how the white people treated the Native America Indians. Here's a song by Michael Martin Murphy, yes Clay's friend, sung by a true Native American hero, Bill Miller. I've seen Bill maybe 10-20 times in my life; his way of telling a story and his pure energy he brings to the stage.... he is special.

The Wolf Den: Friends And Old Memories

From Contributing Editor Clay Riness
Editor In Chief, The Weary Wolf Journal


For those of you who missed it, here's Murph's performance on the Letterman Show in May of '07. He's a resident of the Coulee Region now, and has been for some time...and I'm happy that he's my neighbor. Letterman holds up his CD Heartland Cowboy in the introduction, which I am proud to have been part of. Murph and I share a co-write on that collection.

This song was a powerful influence on me as a kid, as was the entire album. Go figure. What goes around comes around. Or, as I like to pontificate...The Wheel Comes Around.
