An old farmer bargains with the Angel of Life in this parable of Springtime and New Life. The farmer was out walking in the woods one day when he was visited by the Angel of Life who told him that it was time to put his business in order and to leave this world for the next. He was devastated and cried out, "But I have just married a young wife, I cannot leave her - just like that." The angel told him that there was only a fixed amount of lifetime in the world at any one moment and the old farmer had run out of his allotted time. But if the farmer could find someone to give or sell him some of their lifetime, the Angel of Life could accept such a bargain. The angel gave him a short while to find someone otherwise the farmer would have to leave this world. The farmer was at his wits end. The situations, characters and songs that follow tell the story of the farmer's progress.

Sam Drew Carson was born in the North of Ireland and educated there at Wellington College and the Ulster Polytechnic. He completed his education in the USA at New Mexico Highlands University and the University of Arkansas and has traveled widely in North America, around the Atlantic and in Europe. Drew worked as a seaman and fish-gutter in Vestmannaeyjar off the coast of Iceland. He lived and worked in the Irish and Western Isles Gaeltachts and was married in Welsh-speaking Carmarthen after which he honeymooned in Belfast. He has told his stories, composed and sung his songs, seeking storylines in Bristol and the English Westcountry. Drew has also lived and written in Nashville, Tennessee, in the wooded hills of Mid-America and from the Appalachians to the Ozarks. This was the culture that gave rise to the now worldwide Scotch-Irish country music. In the USA, he also worked beside the bayous of the French-speaking Cajuns in the South and among the Western Spanish-speaking Navajos, Apaches and Pueblos of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in New Mexico. Drew has sailed far into the seas of old Gaelic and Oriental legend. After many years searching for inspiration for story and music, the author is still traveling and writing.
