Just what exactly is a "garbage bag tree"? Everytime I'm out somewhere and I see a garbage bag stuck up in a tree I call it a garbage bag tree, but somehow I don't think that's what Gord meant.

I think that could very well be exactly what Gord means.

Agree to disagree...joking and again quoting Ron B.

Q. Would you please explain the phrase "garbage bag trees". My stepson Graeme has noticed that this phrase appears in two of your songs. I apologize for not being able to recall which songs they are.

A. Graeme is a good boy - I don 't recall which songs they are either - but at the time, it was Winter heading into Spring when trees are without leaves and seem to attract garbage bags that roost in their branches. - GD
