I'm easily inspired either by personal experiences, things said in conversation, being given a challenge, or being moved or amused by something. Many genres.

Story behind the song
It's a very sad but inspirational song about long lasting love, and this male version was kindly recorded for me by Elijah Cane of the US, an artist and writer that I admire a great deal The original version sung by Sarah White, has kindly been played quite a lot in the past on BBC Radio Lancashire, UK by Joe Fish.
Lyrics
The old lady with the grey braided hair Is settled in a family heirloom, old rockin chair, The gentleman beside her is her own gentle man, Hes laboured hard and done the best he can. The colours from the fire flicker round the cosy room, As the dear old man plays his melancholy tune, And the pleasure can be measured by the teardrop in her eye, As he sings the old ladys lullaby CHORUS Go to sleep my precious one, rest your weary mind, Go to sleep my loving one, you know Im right behind you, Id give my life if I could mend you Ill be with you to the end.
