Belinda (What a Lovely Tree)

This is a song I wrote about my favorite tree in the Boston area. I wrote an arrangement of the song for the Arlington High School chorus and we were scheduled to perform it in concert when we learned that the tree was about to be cut down. We met at the tree and sang the song — this is a video of that performance.

Deepfelt thanks for this video to Arlington High School chorus teacher Cheryl Christo and videographer Mike Chvany.

The tree was decimated early Thanksgiving morning, soon after we recorded this.
