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
An upbeat happy folk song dedicated to my new grand-daughter Thida - and featuring her playing her 'canonball bunny' rattle on the rhythm track! May your life be evergreen!
Lyrics
G C G D7 G May your life be evergreen, perfect in the sun G C G D7 G Enigmatic and serene one and only one Bm D C Take your love from off the shelf scatter it below Bm D Em A Em A Open up your inner self, watch the river flow, watch the river flow Seasons come and seasons go time is moving fast What’s to think and what’s to know what’s to come at last Hold the future in your mind, watch it change and grow Rail at fate or stay resigned to happiness or woe, happiness or woe Bm F#m Comes the moment come the man Bm A D We all get by just doing what we can Slow the pace and walk awhile, talk to all you meet Ramble over country stiles, savour city streets Spread contentment as you pass, spread it far and wide Lead us on a merry dance once you so decide, once you so decide
