A song Bill collected, "Master Of The Sheepfold", has been an important part of my songbag ever since I learned it. For me, that song's message, inclusiveness, not only widened my perspective generally, but it just may have saved my marriage---even in the face of needing to deal with folks who practiced exclusion and ostracism all while persuing what they said was the truth. It always seemed strange to me that I was the first one to record that song; it had been sung around for quite a long time before I found it.

I never did meet Bill Bonyun and I'm sorry about that. But he sure did do some important work saving some important musical artifacts for us all.
