**NEW! Responses from Bill Miller's recent visit to Wayland, NY School District!

This VIDEO expresses so well what I experienced on November 9, 2009. I hadn't previously heard of Bill Miller. He came to our rural community college to speak and to perform, and as I listened and watched, I was absolutely blown away that this man, whose talent could command huge venues and admission fees, chose our remote location. He made us feel? like he was talking to his best friends, and as the video states, he really shares himself and his experiences. Seeing him in person is amazing.
A student, from Montcalm Community College, Sidney, MI

Great show! Our students loved Bill and his performance tied in very well with some of our academic programs that we are promoting. On our academic side I like to bring in individuals that support our classes/programs, but also appeal to community members.
Michael J. Engle, Asst. Chair, Social Sciences/Educ. Dept., Pueblo Community College - Pueblo, CO

Hi George - everything went very well. Each time Bill visits I feel it opens up another opportunity for him to relate his musical experiences and artistic vision to the students and each time it is unique. This time we covered a lot about the songwriting and record production process and the students were enthralled. Again, thanks for all your help in making this happen and look forward to working together soon...
Andrew Krikun, Music Professor - Bergen Community College, Paramus, NJ

Bill came and did an excellent job. It was a wonderful performance and his stories were riveting. Thanks W.
Wilfred M. Manyango, Assistant Director of Student Life, Richland College, Dallas TX


Bill was wonderful! He captured the attention of all of the students, some of whom were just stopping in for lunch. His willingness to share his experiences as well as his music resonated with our audience. Many of them stood in line to speak with him after the performance. The students are asking to have him back at LLCC next year. I am planning on looking into that. Bill has a genuine way of connecting with people and I want to continue bringing his message to our students. We had an attendance of 175 with a balanced representation of the community, students and college staff. Some community members even drove over 2 hours to hear Bill's performance. The audience gave him a standing ovation! I have not seen that happen on campus for the programs offered through the Multicultural Awareness Center or the Student Life Office.
Blanca Bernasek, Director of Multicultural Affairs, Lincoln Land Community College - Springfield, MO

I am sure Bill has told you the Kiva was literally packed! He gave a wonderful concert, people were mesmerized by his stories, and many stayed afterwards to have snacks and visit with him. We would like to arrange a return visit in December as an Artist-in-Residence at the Koshare Museum and also sponsor another concert and, this time, an Outreach. Our Outreaches involve bussing students (probably middle school and high school) onto the campus for a performance in the afternoon.
Sallie Hibbs, Coordinator of Multicultural Activities, Otero Junior College – La Junta, CO


The show was truly amazing! I fell so blessed that our campus/community got to see Bill Miller perform. It was a win-win situation for everyone. I would like him to come down again next year in May to perform for one of our awards ceremonies
Anthony LaTour, Director of Student Life, Lamar Community College – Lamar, CO

The concert was great and the students in our conversation next day said that they found it really inspiring. We had the large Lecture Hall full that night despite of the snow and cold weather. I had a dozen calls on the day of the concert from the city, people outside college campus who we interested. And later I heard from people who heard it was wonderful and they were wondering if they could go to La Junta to see it next day. Please, give our respects to Mr Miller. The students and International Services are very grateful.
Tatyana Stock, Coordinator of International Programs and Services, Lamar Community College – Lamar, CO

Everyone loved Bill! The comments from those who attended are attached, as well as a group photo taken with some of the Delta College students. I know this was a little different from what Bill is use to, but we had standing room only and the performance was very intimate! Thanks for making a difference in our community.
Linda Holoman, Student & Educational Services, Delta College – University Center, MI


Concert went great. Bill was amazing and very personable. It was wonderful as Bill knew so many people who attended and really made the show an intimate setting. Great talent that just didn’t stop at playing; Bill truly educated the audience.
Scott Powell, Director of Student Activities, North Central Michigan College – Petoskey, MI

Thank you very much Bill, for your moving performance. I know the students here at FAU were greatly appreciative for your time spent here. Your words and sincerity has moved alot of people and we are greatful for the opportunity to have shared that with you.
Tariq Smith, Office of Multicultural Affairs & Pre-College Programs, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL

It went very well! I heard several people mention that they really liked the more intimate setting because it allowed them to connect with Bill, ask questions, etc. in a way that a larger audience would've made difficult. Overall, NAUC is very pleased! I hope Bill enjoyed his stay here! Thank you for all your help and let me know if you need anything else from me!
Kristen Cooperkline, Event Organizer/Treasurer of the NAUC , Bowling Green State University - Bowling Green, OH

The performance went well. I really think that he added a great dimension to the overall event and his music is very good. I had a great time meeting Bill and working with him. I think the audience enjoyed his performance as well. I have heard great things from the people who attended the event.
Matt Adams, Vice President of the Native American Unity Council Bowling Green State University - Bowling Green, OH

OMG, Bill's performance was phenomenal!! I was so afraid that no one would come out because it was terribly cold in Fulton last night. But even so, we had over 250 students in attendance, and that number doesn't include all those from the community who came out to hear him...one couple even drove over 2 hours, from St. Louis, just to hear him. Many bought his CDs and stayed behind to talk with him and to take pictures. It was a fantastic evening, and I think Bill enjoyed himself as well.
Tamara Carter, Coordinator of Multicultural Affairs, William Woods University - Fulton, MO


Hi Bill! Okay so you came to my school (Coastal Carolina University) and I just wanted to let you know that I had originally just gone to your presentation because I was suppose to for one of my classes. I wasn't very excited about it. Yet you were AMAZING and definitely surprised me and I wanted to let you know that you are a fantastic speaker and an amazing musician. You definitely made a great impression on me and my fellow classmates. Just today I spoke to a couple other people that attended last night and no one could stop talking about you and how awesome the music was and your presentation want spellbinding. You surprised us in a great way and got us thinking about EVERYTHING that you spoke about. I just thought you might like to know how great we all thought you were and how you affected each of us on a personal level. Have a great day and keep on amazing people!
Kat Jackson, History Student, Coastal Carolina University, Conway, GA

Bill Miller last night on campus is such a great guy and very easy to work with. So talented and just a class act in every way. Thanks for making show happen and working out details. Everyone there last night was there to hear him and you could have heard a pin drop during the show. Great mix of stories, guitar, flute, original music, and a cover song as well.
Boyd Jones, Campus Programs Director , Winthrop University – Rock Hill, SC

The concert was great. He is performing with style, passion, and virtuosity. The audience enjoyed him and I received great and enthusiastic comments. I am so glad he came here. Thank you for all your help. It was lovely to work with you.
Petritsa Chatzitziva, Asst. Director Multicultura Services, Kutztown University, Kutztown, PA

It was a pleasure to have Bill at my school!! The three assemblies went very well. The kids clapped along to the beat of the songs, singing, swaying, and just really getting into the music. Bill's songs were introduced by 5 of my homeroom kids and he even asked them to sing along with him during "Geronimo's Cadillac" Bill ended the show with a sing-a-long of "This Land Is Your Land". The local TV station covered one of the assemblies, as well as interviewing him . It appeared on the 5 o'clock news channel 13 (local ). The Pocono Record, the local newspaper, had a feature story of him the day of the concert. THey also took pictures during the assemblies and they appeared in the paper the next day.
The community concert at night went well. There were slightly over 100 people in attendance. Many parents and kids came to me afterwards to thank me for bringing Bill to our community. Thanks so much for all your help. Hopefully, we can bring him back again in a few years.
Marta Storm, Instuctor, Stroudsburg Middle School, Stroudsburg, PA


The ratings from students were excellent and the faculty/staff who attended also thought it was a fantastic performance. Great stuff. My cell phone didn’t ring once and that means that technically and administratively there were no glitches whatsoever. Hopefully Bill enjoyed working with our students and that the accommodations we had for him were suitable. I have actually received an inquiry from a professor to do a workshop in a class! Thanks again for your recommendations, they have been very good.
Len Harmon, Cultural Institute, Nichols College, Dudley, MA

We had a great audience response to the concert, which was wonderful. Bill had a tough time with the weather, which was nasty that night, so finding the theatre and getting settled in was a little tense. But he gave a truly great performance, and got to meet some Native kids who were visting from a South Dakota reservation. They were very excited to talk with him. Winona would love to bring Bill back (hopefully in better weather!)
Greg Peterson, Theatre du Mississippi, Winona, MN


Everything went just as planned. All of the events went extremely well and people responded to Bill in a very positive way. I wasn’t surprised, having heard him before, but I was impressed by his ability to capture an audience and hold their desire to travel more deeply into his personal sociological, psychological, and emotional experience as a Native American man. His message to high school students was especially well-received. In the history of this particular alternative high school program where he spoke to approximately 100 students, Bill got the only standing ovation that was ever offered to a long list of speakers. Quite impressive. He’s on our “to do” list for people who we’d like to bring back to campus in a few years.
Sam Richards, Director of Race Relations - Penn State University - University Park, PA
Bill was very well recieved. his talk at noon was very moving ---an audience of about 75 or so...........and then he kicked ass in the barn theatre's audience of 100+ enthusiastic fans from as far as Toledo, northern Indiana, and upper Michigan. Bill really likes Sidney and MCC, and we love him here. Thanks for working with us, House.
Ken DeLong, Native American Club Advisor, Montcalm Community College - Sidney, MI

Bill's performance could not have been any better! The audience response was exceptional, as always.
Phil Siganer, Town Crier Cafe - Pawling, NY

I, for one, will never forget Bill. You were right, he is a wonderful human being. His lecture went over well. We had a variety of students, faculty, staff from campus and over 100 teachers and students from Stone Child College and Hayes/Lodge Pole School. Probably a total of 250 at the lecture. The concert was wonderful. About 200 people. A professor who attends most of our programming approached me after the show and told me it was the best concert he had ever attended in his life. Bill's stories and music touched his heart and he would never forget the experience. I was fortunate to be able to take Bill back to Great Falls to catch his flight home. We had a couple of hours time to visit and he is a truly humble man who knows exactly why he is here on this earth. Not all of us can say that. He can truly make a difference and has with his people. He told me, as we parted at the airport,(with a huge hug and a kiss) that he would make every effort to come back to Havre as it was one of his very special places. I believe Stone Child College talked to him while he was here about attending their Pow Wow and teaching some art workshops in the classrooms. Thank you so much for encouraging us to bring Bill here. He was worth every penny!!
Denise Brewer, Director of Student Activities, Montana State University Northern – Havre, MT

The performances went off as spectacles. Everyone attending gave standing ovations. Bill was joined by Arvel Bird and Eagle, who donated their time and talent for the Friday concert. Everyone said that this past weekend was an experience that they may never again see and they were glad that they were able to be a part of it.
Bryan Halfday, American Indian Services Pow Wow Chair - Lincoln Park, MI

Bill Miller was such a pleasure to host on campus. His show was perfect for our summer series and I received very positive feedback from the audience! He's a gracious, interesting man and an extremely talented musician. I would love to think about booking him for our Wyman Series of '08-'09.
Karyn King, Event Coordinator, University of Wisconsin at River Falls - River Falls, WI


Bill was great! Very friendly, soft spoken, and didn’t mind hanging out while waiting for his performance time. I enjoyed his presence and would like to have spent more time talking with him, but of course I had to continue my follow up With other performers, their lodging, their meals, passes, etc… All in all, the event went smoothly and Bill gave a former student of ours an afternoon to remember. He invited Bronson up to The stage to jam with him. The crowd enjoyed it and most of all, Bronson was honored. Thanks again for everything , We hope all continues to be well with you both, and thank Bill for us again.
Elfreda Yazzie, Student Programs, Diné College- Tsaile, AZ


Phenomenal! His performance was truly inspired.
Nicole Bach, Diversity Council Chair, Jefferson College - Hillsboro, MO


Bill was absolutely wonderful! I think he could have played another hour or so and the crowd would have stayed.
