Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
I woke up one morning with this in my head - ready to go including French accordian and tap-dancing solo. Don't ask me what was going on... especially as having written it down i went back to sleep and work up with Final Curtain in my head.... Part of the Age Old Story cycle...
Lyrics
AOS 06 Walking in the Park (D) A You were walking in the park D I was watching through the railings A It was getting rather dark D D7 Near the end of the day G Gm Being slow off the mark D Bm Was never one of my failings A You were walking in the Park D But you were heading my way When I saw you drop your glove There was never hesitation Manna falling from above As I awaited my chance That was enough To send me headlong to flirtation Would it be love And a beautiful romance Break: (also intro) Gm D GmBm A G E7 A Instrumental (French tapdancing and accordion solo….?) You were getting near the gate I was strolling up behind you With a story to relate And a thought to impart It was your fate As I later would remind you As you walked through the gate We’d a future to start
