Grandpa released the following statement : “These recordings focus on a cast of characters who live in a meadow across the road from the house where I grew up.  They include, but are not limited to: a girl named Sally, a bluebird named Hank, a daisy called Daisy, an Earthworm Wally, a Christopher Cricket, and a praying mantis named Pellapetisimo.”

Produced by Morris’ brother, Bart.
