That Silver Shore : Easter Musical with Ten Songs

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.
