Love the song but why are they jugging up the trees with only one foot loop? Must be knackering. Much easier with a double foot loop so you can use both legs together or two ascenders with a foot loop on each so you can climb as if up a ladder.
This video has a soothing effect, though men are working hard. Beautiful sunlight shows up between high trees and on branches and forest is shrouded in mist. Glen's song harmonize very well here the subject.
@freshaire1967 "Billy Joel said, and it was at the Songwriter's Hall of Fame ceremony, that it was a song about an ordinary man thinking extraordinary thoughts. That brought tears to my eyes because he came closer than anyone to getting it." quote from Jimmy Webb
Beautiful song. Beautiful trees. I hope at least once in my life I get to walk among trees like that. To go up them on ropes would be immeasurably better,
Glen is an excellent singer, very talented and still popular with the fans. Glen has stood the test of time very well. Wichita Lineman has always been one of my favorites.
I used to top trees in Oregon . But those trees I don't think it's possible with a 36" bar on a Skil chainsaw . That is simply amazing . I would climb 90 ' and would be scaredtodeath when the top was removed . It seemed like you were on the end of a big fishing pole waving in the wind . Very scary . Look at the height of those trees ! They got to be at least 200 - 300 feet tall . God almitghty .
Haven't heard this for years and years - and here you've posted it with great video and lots of good information! Many, many thanks, Granako - Granako The Great!
I love how his voice sounds now! This song is special to me because my dad was a lineman with UP&L when I was little. I thought it was about him and us.
My grandma loved this song. I miss her.

I appreciate the video and lyrics, but if you find a tree here in Wichita over 30 feet tall, we report it in the news.

A classic! One of my favourite tracks. Tragic about Glen Campbell's Alzheimer's though :(.

Those tall redwoods are over 800 years old. Hard to imagine.
Before the continent was even discovered by Europeans, those trees were already growng for a couple centuries. Thank God they're still there.
