Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song. Waiting By The Silvery Rio Grande: Into the woodland creeps the day, shadowed through beautiful Crimson trees, peeps through the purple of the twilight rain and whispers a song on the wings of the breeze. Scattering clouds gather on the crest, like white floating doves in their heavenly nest. And the silver of night in transparent delight bids goodbye to day as the stars point the way. Poppies now sleep in their cradle...

Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song. The Roving Cowboy: On the trail at eve'n tide as the sun sinks ever lower and lower in the west, the deep shadows of the coming night gather overhead and cast a peaceful, restful atmosphere round about you. Our guide, the Kingwood Kowboy, seated easily astride his Pinto Pony, points the way to the sparkling reflection of the campfire as his Ranch Hands gather round the Chuck wagon, singing and enjoying the simple plaintive...

Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song. The Old Pine Tree: Steeped in the rays of gold, purple, and blue of the early evening, as the sun slips into a blanket of fluffy clouds just over the horizon, and a sentinel prairie dog barks his warning of the coming night. A rugged cowboy wends his way astride his pinto pony through the last gap of the canyon and on into the little valley where his partners, after a hard day of branding are gathered, enjoying the warmth...

Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song. Sweetest Little Rose In Tennessee: I watched the sunset form every second. Something new and startling appeared to melt into the beauty of all the clouds. Dark and light shadows, midst a landscape with sleepy eyes in the touch of a thousand winds, meeting to tell the day farewell into the sunset. It sometimes seemed as though from the dying day, all its beauty had been accumulated or extracted, and then lavishly poured into...

Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song. Sunshine Trail: What strange forms loom up in front of us as we ride along the Western Trail in the darkness of the night. And yet when we ride closer to these strange apparitions, we realize that nature has played a trick on us. Oh, it's nothing but a tree, a bush or a giant cactus who points the way ahead to the right or left with its misshapen arms outstretched, pointing the way to the camp of the Kingwood Kowboy and his...

Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song. Sierra mountain Moon: Out in the silence of the purple Vale, down through the paths of a summer trail, out amid the glow of the autumn leaves, there rests the thoughts of me. Out where the clouds thus beckoned me on up in the blue of the heavenly dawn, to clouds floating on the celestial sea I’m drawn, there let it rest, the thoughts of me. And now, come over to the ranch of the Kingwood Kowboy and meet his Ranch Hands as...

Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song. Pretty Red Wing: The sun in all its glory of gold and Crimson is slipping silently into its pocket at the Western edge of the world. And as we happily follow the Western trail, we turn in our saddle and gaze into the gentle face of a new, soft silvery moon that peeks at us as we rise to the top of a slight incline, and look down into a little Valley where the glowing embers of a campfire gives evidence of a group of Cowboys...

Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song. Ragtime Cowboy Joe: Clad in the hazy purple of the coming night, with his face turned dauntlessly to the Western trail, the cowboy sits on his horse easily as he rides through a wide Valley. A vagrant puff of wind shakes the corner of a crimson handkerchief, knotted loosely at his throat, and the rhythmic strut of his pony's feet mingling with the jingling of his spurs, arouses within you a spirit of romance and adventure....

Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song. Little Old Sod Shanty: Our ponies hoofs beat a soft tattoo on the grassy path that leads up over the crest of Yonder Hill, that momentarily shuts off from view a beautiful little Valley, laying peacefully tucked away between the foothills of the greater mountains of the west, like a lovely Emerald nestling cosily in a setting of rare Opals. This little Valley reflects the glory of the setting sun and the warmth of the true...

Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song. El Rancho Grande: It's like the sweeping, soul stirring strains from a great Symphony, swinging to its climatic tone picture, under the rhythmic tempo set by the baton of a masterful leader. So the night rushes in at the downbeat of the sinking sun. He sweeps through his varied Symphony of color tones from gold to blue and red to purple and Gray. The power of the great director is seen in building the climax to a perfect...

Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song. Chisholm Trail: Stranger, will you let us paint a picture of a home out in the West? Where the stars shine from the heavens on the scenes that we love best? On the mountains, Hills and valleys, on the Plains, in deserts too, and the moon comes up in glory and casts its beams on you? Were you born to catch the spirit of the nightbird on the wing? Where the freedom of wide spaces and your heart just has to sing? Where the...

Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song. Chime Bells: Out of the dusty blue from the west comes that ever entrancing melody that the Cowboys share, a melody as old as the history of Pioneer days, floating on the breeze over miles of space from the camp of the Kingwood Kowboy and his Ranch Hands, who have gathered round their chuckwagon to chant their cowboy songs and Gladden their hearts after a day's work well done. Let's ride into the camp and enjoy a few...

Spoken-word introduction followed by an old-time radio cowboy song. Back On The Texas Plains: Have you ever saddled a Mustang and rode over a rugged trail with the crisp mountain breeze blowing in your face? Where you feel like looking up into the broad expanse of heaven and offering up a silent prayer of Thanksgiving, to that felt but unseen power, and a sense of peace and calm comes to you that you've never had before? And as your pony plods to the summit of that slight incline, he is...
