Steps are being taken to invite American Ted Williams, whose “golden voice” has taken him from homelessness to international fame in a matter of days, to Bermuda.Mr Williams yesterday reminisced about Bermuda on NBC's Today Show, saying a visit to the Island was the "happiest moment of my life".The homeless Mr Williams has been the object of intense media interest after a short interview clip he was featured in went viral on YouTube.A voice-over artist who had fallen on hard times, Mr Williams' clip was viewed some 12 million times.During the interview with Ann Curry and Al Roker yesterday, he said a visit to Bermuda more than 30 years ago remained one of the best times of his life.Mr Williams said he thought of that trip recently, after psychologist Dale Atkins recommended he focus on a happy memory to cope with stress brought on by his newfound fame.“Being the recovering alcoholic and addict that I am, she said [to] meditate before medicate....She took me to a place, the most happiest moment of my life.“When I was young my mom took me to Bermuda ... I love Bermuda. I don't know what's going on with Bermuda now, but in the 70s that was the Hawaii of the Atlantic as far am I'm concerned and being from New York, Bermuda is the closest thing to Hawaii that we have...”Tourism Minister Patrice Minors said today that steps are underway to bring Mr Williams back to Bermuda.Minutes after the interview aired, the Bermuda Department of Tourism's New York representatives had contacted him with a view to extending an invitation for him to visit Bermuda, she said.She added: "I must admit that when I saw his story, I too was moved by his life struggles and challenges. And how absolutely touching that he cited Bermuda and his memories of our beautiful Island as being a beacon of light in his life."Spending some time to digest all that is happening in a place where he has fond memories could be a wonderful experience for him. So, in a gesture of kindness and good will, I can confirm that we have reached out to Mr. Williams to let him know that his story has deeply touched all of Bermuda."We would be pleased to welcome him, and it's hoped that he will be able to visit the Island sometime in the near future."Mr Williams wasn't the only person on NBC talking about Bermuda yesterday.‘Today Show' presenter Matt Lauer said he loved the Island during a review of three-day getaway travel destinations with journalist Kate Maxwell.Ms Maxwell extolled Bermuda as a golfing destination, and a break from New York with “really pleasant” temperatures and lovely weather.A stay at the Fairmont Southampton was mentioned as a travel deal. And a viewer who spotted the references on Bermuda on VSB-TV Channel 11 said: “We also got onto the soap opera ‘Days of our Lives'.“One of the characters said she was taking a plane to Bermuda for a business meeting, so maybe somebody there likes us.”
