"I look forward each afternoon to turning on my KGAK radio microphone to say – 'Good afternoon, this is your host, Gilbert Brown.' And I look forward to playing the music of my people – the chants and songs which have been carried down through the centuries, passed down from one generation to the other.
"One of the traditions is the Squaw Dance, and Robert E. Lee, from Pinon, Arizona, whom I have known and listened to for many years, has captured in this album, the warmth and flavor of the social parts of the Squaw Dance.
"I personally have attended many a Squaw Dance and I take particular delight in hearing the songs of one group, then hearing another group counter their answers in song. It is especially interesting if the groups happen to be in-laws or are related. The Squaw Dance is a Summer Healing Ceremony that spans over a four day period, and the songs sung by Lee in this album are the social songs sung on the second evening and final afternoon.
"These Squaw Dance Songs are some of the oldest, and have become standards of the social aspects of the Squaw Dance. They will bring back many memories to those who have not heard them recently. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do."
