Assembly: A modern-day wandering minstrel whose work has played on stages from Broadway to The Tonight Show to The Muppet Show, Paul Tracey is an artist with wit and extraordinary talents - singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, storyteller and folklorist.

A Word to the Wise points out the wisdom of humankind through songs based on The Golden Rule, common sense and proverbs.

About Africa combines Tracey's theatrical talents with his skillful playing of authentic African instruments for a tribute to the vitality of the Black cultures of Eastern, Central and Southern Africa.

Great Briton is a feast of British culture, featuring Tracey in his kilt, playing bagpipes and presenting stories and folk songs of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Our Little Blue Planet is a worldwide, environmental experience featuring a giant, floating globe - a musical tie to geography! - that deals with Earth's delicate balance.

Song Savvy takes a whimsical look at the creative process of writing and performing songs. Students whistle and sing catchy choruses and beat out calypso rhythms with exotic percussion instruments as they are taught the art of songwriting by a master.

The Wandering Minstrel centers around the song, "I Found It In A Book," which encourages children to read and become self-motivated.
