Notes on our Bill Dance Outdoors theme song
I often receive requests for copies of our Bill Dance Outdoors theme song, however we are forbidden by copyright and contract from distributing it in any way except when it is broadcast on our show.
Why?
At one time, the original music in our theme was marketed by it’s writer/producer, David Muir, in a song called “Gone Fishing!”
Our theme version, which includes the words “I’ve gone fishing with Bill Dance” was a shorter variation of David’s original piece which he performed and licensed to us to be used exclusively as the theme of Bill Dance Outdoors.
Surprising to us, we have fulfilled several requests from funeral directors over the years who have been asked by family members to play our theme at the final services of loved ones who were ardent viewers of our show.
I can absolutely think of no greater compliment that anyone could pay me!
