From the MHA to the Black Hills of South Dakota to the NDCHF
Wild Bill is part of a group in the northern Black Hills of South Dakota responsible for numerous classic country music shows over the years. These events have been very successful and have affectionately been billed as "The Opry". His partner in this endeavor is South Dakota musician Kimberly Bachman. The first events were held at The Historic Homestake Opera House in Lead, SD. Bill and Kimberly return to this venue to have a conversation about Kim's past, here present and her future. This segment features some great footage of this iconic venue.
