"Three By Wally and Donald" is an edited medley with portions of the album's versions of "Black Cow," "Deacon Blues," and "Babylon Sisters."
"Deacon Blues" is arranged for piano trio. According to pianist Michael Lang in comments on social media, Victor Feldman was the "Deacon Blues" arranger, though Feldman is not credited with this arrangement in the liner notes. Feldman died May 12, 1987, during the period when the album was being planned and recorded. Lang died in 2022.
Arranger Joe Roccisano's "Green Earrings" arrangement on this album was adapted from his earlier arrangement of the song on Chick, Donald, Walter & Woodrow.
Joe Roccisano later recorded a modified version of the "Throw Back The Little Ones" arrangement on Leave Your Mind Behind (US 1995) (opens in a new tab).
