Topic: Trees

I thought that I would post an upbeat song to cheer you all up. and what could do that more than a song about trees and stuff.

however if you are going to give it a shot - make sure you play it using barre chords at 5th and 7th or you might just upset yourselves again smile

deep down we all love trees. look after them and enjoy, lol

Re: Trees

Thanks for the cheering up, johncross21!  Lovely song on a wonderful topic.

We are lucky to have some magnificent trees near our home.  Grand old oaks and cottonwoods.  Cedars that are gnarled and wise.  There's a catalpa that is a monster and some magnolias that are treasures and bloom magnificently.  Lots of sweet gum and bodock and cypress too.

A medium-sized oak died a couple of years ago and I have enjoyed watching the insects and lichens slowly digest the wood and bark.  It fell over the other day and I will let it slowly continue to provide food and shelter for all the little critters who are feasting on it - sort of like a garden in reverse.

Anyway - guess you can tell that I'm also a tree lover.  Great song, thanks.  James

Re: Trees

there's too many trees cut down these days,if more wood was recycled they would'nt have to fell so many,then there would be less greenhouse gasses...
