I still have the RCA story record set with the text and the Disney drawings. I have it and a few other story sets still, but Pecos Bill will be mine as long as I live. The first "movie" that I remember that made me cry.
"Pecos Bill" has always been a favorite of mine strictly because of the music. Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers opened the segment in live action, around a campfire. Roy eases into Pecos' story when he discovers there might be some in the campfire group who don't know his legend. Each member of the Pioneers has a line of dialogue or two before they launch into the animated tale. There's nothing deep or subliminal about "Pecos," just a good old fashioned yarn.
The only part about the segment that didn't make any sense to me as a little kid was when "Sluefoot Sue" comes into Bill's life. I thought it was amusing that Widowmaker got rid of the woman in Bill's life so uniquely.
