He sings "Levi's Lament" after the men of the fort sing "Fire In The Bedroom". Meet The Ancient Ones who were here centuries and millennia before Levi.

Meet the proprietor of The Rollaway Saloon, and the ladies of Kanab and Fredonia who tried to shut him down. Meet the present day people of "Best Friends Animal Sanctuary", modern pioneers whose story parallels that of Kanab's early settlers. They have created "A Kingdom For The Beasts". Many other fascinating stories are part of "A Canyon Peoples' Portrait". The tellers of the tales will warm your heart with their art.

Heritage Arts Recordings, Utah Pioneer Heritage Arts' record label, releases the first Artisan Art Book/CD of the Legacy Series, in which Utah's top songwriters, singers, and visual artists combine to tell the stories of Utah's pioneer heritage and history.
The Saga of the Sanpitch tells some of Sanpete County's history, which is rich in Native American history, pioneer stories, and conflict between the two. And it highlights some modern pioneering and community-building in this high desert country. Cherie Call, Payton Kemp, Mary Kaye Knaphus, Kate MacLeod, Sam Payne, Clive Romney, Ryan Shupe, and Gary Voorhees have collaborated with Sanpete County visual artists Laurie Lynn Farrer, Susan Gallacher, Shirley Taylor-McKay, Larry Nielson, Kathy Petersen, Carl Purcell, and Jason Quinn to create a stunning package that deserves a place in every Utah home and wherever those with Utah roots live.
