There have been many. When my first recording on Folk Legacy was released, when, after a performance at the Press Club in Washington DC, Senator (soon to be Secretary of State) Muskie took me aside and said how much he enjoyed it, and that people like me have more power to influence others than do politicians such as he. Being asked to represent Maine on the TODAY show, being asked to appear on ON THE ROAD with Charles Kuralt, doing a play based on a book with Julie Harris, then, getting an unasked for autographed copy of the book from her. I've had many lucky breaks.
