Listening to Prairie Home Companion this morning, the Wailin Jennys, Garrison plus Bonnie Raitt sang "You are My Sunshine." Beautifully done. Growing up in Wichita I got to see Gene Autry at a rodeo at the old Lawrence Stadium. That seemed to be his signature song. . . can't remember if he sang at the rodeo.
Music was a big part of my youth - church choir, church bell choir, violin and orchestra (4th to 7th grade), junior high choruses. As much as I liked to reminisce about "You are My Sunshine" I can't carry a tune any more. But I'm out of practice. My brother Don sure liked to sing. I miss his enthusiasm to respond with a song to questions.
