From the back cover: Joan Morris (b. Portlan, Oregon) is well known as a specialist in a wide range of American popular and theater song from the mid-19th century to the present. Since 1973, Miss Morris has toured with her husband William Bolcom throughout the United States and Europe. She has recorded for Columbia, RCA, and Nonesuch.

William Bolcom (b. Seattle) has been instrumental in bringing serious attention to American vernacular music, and his own compositions are a fusion of classical and popular elements. As pianist, he is heard on Columbia, Jazzology, RCA, the School of Music label of the University of Michigan (where he has been professor of composition since 1973), and Nonesuch.
