GEST Origin:All God's Critters Got a Place in the Choir (44) RE: All God's Creatures 02 Apr 06


I'm inclined to agree with GUEST,Larry Odom.

In the liner notes for Whistle of the Jay, Bill Staines notes this is the first recording of this song, but does not claim authorship.

The following note, however, is on the lyrics page of the Preston/Beachwood site:

All God's Creatures

Words & Music by Michael Beachwood - BMI - C & P 1983

Michael Beachwood

This song was inspired by the trees being cut down and the intense whale hunting in the 70s. Michael saw field after field in the lower Santa Clara Valley being bulldozed and cover[ed] with asphalt. This song is very religious as well as environmental.
