JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback Creative Challenge Forum Song Challenge #50 Phillp Martin

Phillip Martin is an artist who creates wonderful clipart and lets teachers use it for free. He has been doing this for a long time. In the last few years, he has been going to schools and community centers all over the world and helps the kids paint murals to help their lives be brighter. He doesn't charge for any of this and the man is not rich. Anyway, I LIKE him on Facebook and he had just completed some clipart for Tennessee (He is working on all the states per teachers' requests) and he recently posted this:

My favorite song about Tennessee doesn't really have the name in the title. I've always been a fan of Smoky Mountain Rain. If that doesn't do it for you, well, with the Country Music Capital in Nashville, there is so much music to choose from. Maybe somebody, some day will write a song about my clip art. Never going to happen ... but you can see the latest at http://states.phillipmartin.info/tennessee/home.htm

Soooo .... challenge monger that I am, I thought it would be fun and a beautiful gift for him if some of our wonderful JPF people put their thinking caps on and if they were so inclined could create a nice song about him and his clip art. If you visit his website, you will be able to find enough about him to put a nice little song or songs together. I posted this in the General Forum too!

Anyway, he doesn't know about my idea, so he will be very pleased and surprised. It would be a nice Community Service sort of thing to do for such a caring, unselfish guy.

What do you think?

I simply beg your pardon
Who says that nothing’s free
Have your heard of Phillip Martin
Well there is apparently
Yes Phillips’ quite the artist
His talent well displayed
The funny thing about it is
He gives his art away
His artwork’s on the Internet
He’s busy as a bee
His clip art there to download
And all of it is free
There’s pictures there of everything
Don’t think you’ll come up short
You’ll even have a choice or two
Of what you’re looking for
So if you search to find a print
It won’t be very hard
For everything is listed well
His inventory large
He sometimes uses colors soft
But also colors bold
And Phillip helps with murals too
In countries round the globe
So when you hear somebody say
That nothing is for free
They haven’t met a certain gent
Who shares so selflessly!!

Great job, Lynn! Thanks for leading the way.

Any more lyric ideas for this one? Tunes? Collabs?
