He didn't mention Dave and Tracy's, Gentle Arms of Eden! If you haven't heard this song it is really a love song to the earth. I suppose Dar's "Great Unknown" would fit well and also "Playing to the Firmament." We listen to some pretty cool stuff around here!

"Poison in the Well", by 10,000 Maniacs, on the cd Blind Man's Zoo and "The Rivers" by Cheryl Wheeler... both about pollution in our waters and questions our responsibility to these problems... jc > Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2002 08:26:47 -0500 > I have a question I would like to pose to the group.

Going back a few decades, how about Joni's "Big Yellow Taxi"? "don't it always seem to go.. that you don't know what you've got till it's gone. They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2002 21:36:17 EST From: Pfleary@aol.com Subject: [RS] green Two green songs that immediately spring (no pun intended) to mind are 10,000 Maniacs A Campfire Song and the Pretenders My City Was Gone.

"The Wood Thrush's Song" by Laurie Lewis, about disappearing wildlife. "Val's Cabin," also by Laurie, about disappearing "escape places" in the wildlife. A bit more of a stretch, "Here Comes the Rain," also by Laurie, about the "re-greening" of the earth, via a coming rainstorm, after a long dry spell. Deb ===== You can take the rock band away from the girl and think you've tamed her. But, she'll just pick up an acoustic, give you that innocent little girl grin, quietly laugh and say? "Nevah!"
