LESTER HOLT
I was focused on becoming a radio disc jockey.
Thats all I really wanted when I was in high school.
I managed to land my first job at a country-and-western station in Sacramento.
I did a show on Saturdays and Sundays, midnight to 6 a.m.
I didnt know much about country music, frankly, but I learned some appreciation.
An important part of what we do in the news business is stories that people can relate to.
But I was naive about the roots of country music.
Country music is a melting pot.
It comes from all over.
Its influence is deep, and its so American.
I believe that we need it to bring our country together.
Her next projects are the Prime Video seriesNight Skyand the movieSam & Kate.
We were in formation.
Children were running down onto the floor to hug their moms and dads.
This song was playing, and I will remember that time forever.
I feel that country music is probably the one genre that has really spoken to those that have served.
We had a battery-operated radio, and on Saturday nights we would all gather in this little den.
Ive been asked this a few times: If I could switch my life, what would I be?
