"[introduction to "Trees"] Theres poetry in trees. Then one day a poet found it. Then a music master wove around it a melody. An artist touched it, gave it form in colors rich and warm. Now we bring to you these three, poem, picture, melody. A simple tribute to a tree."

"[introduction to "Blame It On the Samba"] The intoxicating rhythm of the samba. A talented miss serves a musical cocktail with a true Latin American fling. So if three boisterous birds of a feather fall under the influence of this torrid tropical tempo, dont blame them, blame it on the rhythm of the samba."

"[introduction to "Pecos Bill"] Heres a tall tale straight from the chuck wagon, just the way the old-timers used to tell it. According to them, Pecos Bill was the roughest, toughest, rootinest, tootinest, shootinest cowpoke that ever lived. Well, any story about old Pecos is bound to be right strong medicine, so maybe its best to sashay into it kinda gentle-like."
