It's much happier than today's music :)

@MrDeCorey This music is still around.

Drive through Des Moines playing this from a loudspeaker from your car at the end of the world. ;)

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

Holy divinely inspired music.

@Addiskrilla The grass is always greener, man.

There's still good music, you just have to look harder (e.g. not on the radio).

Incredible, imagine what they would have sounded like behind todays production technology! Classic country, none of this country rock/pop we hear on the cm charts these days

Oh shit, I found it. My 3rd grade teacher was having us sing songs for a school play, and this was supposed to be mine.

I tell ya, 30 years and beyond the music world used to be green, lush, beautiful wit

trees and birds and the sun used to come out most of the time, fast forword to 60

years later, the music world looks like berlin when the allies droped the bombs on it.

The other side of the music world of today looks even more grimmer: it looks like

rat lsland and that barren land from the movie the book of Eli.

@freetickeys No, bluegrass as a genre was created by Bill Monroe and people of his era. The Carter Family's music is not bluegrass. Bluegrass is relatively young, having come late to the scene. The Carter Family's music is older and is among the roots of bluegrass, but is not bluegrass itself.

Bluegrass today and in Monroe's time pulls from many different influences, so it's not accurate to say, "it's all taken from black music." Some may be, but not all.
