Richard Ben Cramer describes the debut of the Dole for President video to a packed house full of supporters in a Kansas VFW hall in his wonderful book about the 1988 Presidential race entitled, "What It Takes - The Way to the White House," and happens to mention the music:

"People were backed up from the door of the hall. It was dark inside. Everyone was watching the video. It was spectacular—all about Bob's childhood, and Russell, Bina and Doran...Bob went off to war, and came back, just broken bones and heart...he picked himself up, and never forgot...and by the end of the film, when he's running for President, standing in a cornfield, making a speech, with the cornstalks eight feet tall around him, and that wonderful music welling up under his words—when he talked of opportunity, freedom, our future...you were guaranteed to end crying if you knew Bob, or his folks, or the town—and even if you didn't, you felt like you did. Even the reporters stopped talking (there were hundreds staying over that night—some had to sell in Hays). The people from Washington—staff and smart guys—you could almost see it dawn on them: this stuff they'd been saying. Dole and the heartland, small-town, hardworking...it was real, here it was, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post Number 6240, Russell, Kansas...they were in it! And as the lights came up, everybody was talking at once—wasn't it great? Did you see that picture of Bob, so skinny?...And people who knew him, even slightly, felt they were part of something, something great was happening—no one left the hall...."
