oh thanks for helpful suggestions..

the TREE song c.d. by Jenny Bird is
beautiful and inspiring...and it is
a benefit for the Arbor Day Foundation.

Songs of Trees--including Bonnie Portmore
with our very own Castelbay!!

and now I know where Oak Ask and Thorn
is from--a Kipling poem put to music.

and i will definately check out the Buena
Vista Social Club song mentioned!!

and this one is a treasure--i know i have heard it:
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.

Does anyone have any idea what recording it is on?

I know Rosalee Sorrells has a tribute album for
malvina...No Closing Chord--i wonder if it is on
there?
