Okay Fran, I was going to ignore  the request due to the fact that I have 
to go and dig up my resources (no time!!!!!) BUT now I have no choice but 
to respond!! : )

Here's the Tu B'shvat list of songs we use at our Reform congregation taken 
from the "Seder Tu B'shvat: The Festival of Trees" Siddur by Adam Fisher 
(published by Central Conference of American Rabbis, 192 Lexington Ave., 
NY, NY 10016, 1989) - a good comprehensive book to have! We sing mainly the 
Hebrew songs from the book just because I know them best and am a Hebrew 
fanatic (right everyone?!). BTW - this fabulous siddur also includes the 
sheet music (notation, lyrics and guitar chords!) for most of the songs at 
the end of the book!

Good luck
