I didn't even know it was there. It didn't play for me.

You have strange powers.

I had to turn the sound off, fast, so as not to wake anyone.

Honest, I have no strange powers at all.

This morning it was a ballad I couldn't identify. Could have been Lionel Ritchie. Or maybe something by Night Ranger. Hard to tell sometimes.

I'm running IE 5.2.2 in OSX 10.2.3, by the way.

Last night I was using IE and the soundfile came right up -- it was "Bad Moon Rising" on the page Teresa linked to, about dwarf trees, and something that I believe was Kris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Through the Night" on the home page. (The arrangement on the latter may be at fault.) I didn't try any of his other pages.

Tonight I'm using Netscape -- yes, I alternate browsers; long story -- and I'm not getting any music. If I switch browsers I may try again.

Haven't tried it in Opera yet which is the other browser I have (but seldom use, as my computer seems to freeze more often using it).

I didn't recognize the songs on the Cedar or Norway Spruce pages, but the Colorado Blue Spruce is "All Shook Up" (so that's what happened to Elvis!).

Computers should be seen and not heard.

Given I normally use Netscape I wonder what other 'joys' I've been missing.

But I enjoyed the plant descriptions. Slow-growing indeed.

"I talk to the trees" would have been nice...
