David Verkade, of Dave’s Nursery in Pompton Lakes, NJ, is passionate about his work. Gotta like a thing like that.
I wasn't sure quite what to make of the MIDI file of "Bad Moon Rising".
Gleep! I didn't even know it was there. It didn't play for me.
You have strange powers.
Ohhh..so it was Bad Moon Rising! I had to turn the sound off, fast, so as not to wake anyone.
Honest, I have no strange powers at all.
The tunes seem to atlernate. 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.
It may depend on which browser you're using. 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).
The page on maples plays "Tomorrow" (from the musical _Annie_) and the White Pine page is playing "As Tears Go By." 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!).
I got "Bad Moon Rising," startling the nursing babe, who let go and scowled at the computer. Computers should be seen and not heard.
I also got Bad Moon Rising, and the initial jolt reminded me of a certain Pleistocene page...
*grin*
Yes, with Netscape it's peace, perfect peace; with IE it's soundtrack, and 'Bad Moon Rising'. Given I normally use Netscape I wonder what other 'joys' I've been missing.
But I enjoyed the plant descriptions. Slow-growing indeed.

No sounds at all with Opera. "I talk to the trees" would have been nice...
