Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Do you have "comfort movies"
that you just like to watch again and again? I have several. This
song is featured in one of them -
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
(2000).

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keep_On_the_Sunny_Side:
Keep On the Sunny Side is a popular American song originally
written in 1899 by Ada Blenkhorn (1858–1927) with music by J. Howard
Entwisle (1866–1903). The song was popularized in a 1928 recording by
the
Carter Family. A recording of the song with
The
Whites was featured in the 2000 movie
O Brother, Where Art Thou?.
In 1899 Ada Blenkhorn was inspired to write the Christian hymn by a phrase used by her nephew. Blenkhorn's nephew was disabled and always wanted his wheelchair pushed down "the sunny side" of the street. The Carter Family learned of the song from A. P. Carter's uncle who was a music teacher, and they recorded the song in Camden, New Jersey in 1928. "Keep on the Sunny Side" became their theme song on the radio in later years. A.P. Carter's tombstone has a gold record of the song embedded in it.[1][2] |
