It was a wintery day. I don’t know if it was January or February, but the snow was lightly falling. I got a call from the gatehouse, and they said, ‘There’s a request by Shania Twain and her film crew from CBS. They want to film a number of her singing on the mine site.’ I said, ‘Well you better put them on the phone. I’m going to do some negotiating here.
