Subject: RE: looking for tree songs for radio show
I seem to remember a country western song from the late 1940's called "Timber!" which might be right on target.

Malvina Reynolds composed a song in honor of the "Lambert Children" who defended a tree threatened by highway construction by climbing up in its branches.

There are hundreds of traditional songs from the lumberjack era.

I composed a "Treehouse Song" (should be in the threads) featuring a neighbor who didn't appreciate the architectual jewel constructed next door for a 10-year old kid; the kid won.

I'll check this thread later in the day if there is any interest in follow-up.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
