It's great to hear from people who have been touched by these songs. It has been good to know that the Lord is using this in ways I am not even aware of.

I wrote one of my songs completely out in the field. Another one I started in Alaska and finished in Yellowstone. Even though my books are out, I still consider myself an educator first. I want to give people a better understanding of grizzly bears.

I think there's less trash this year, but we've got four times the people. It's the best of both worlds.

He walked around with pockets full of quarters, handing out handfuls to people just to put a smile on their faces.

There is a mystique and fear surrounding grizzlies. I want to try and teach people to have a very healthy respect of grizzly bears, but not a fear.

I'm just glad to be singing songs that touch people.
