Charlie Stubbings - You Just Never Know

On the 24th of June 2010, my beautiful Grandson, Samuel James was born. Unlike all Stubbings' before him, this little chap arrived very early and because he was so incredibly frail and tiny, his first weeks on the Planet were spent in hospital. Mercifully though he soon fought his way to rude health to begin his happy home life with Mother Ellie and Dad Dave.
'You Just Never Know' is a tune I wrote some time ago which I'd like to now dedicate to young Samuel and although I've always struggled to live by the principles the song advocates, as far as Grandfatherly advice goes, I think it's pretty much on the money.
Other than myself, the song features, Simon Swarbrick on violin/guitar and Joy Russell on vocals.

A beautiful baby, truly a blessing.  And a wonderful song - the vocals are great, reminiscent of Ralph McTell.
