We need more sunshine in our lives these days with all the gloom, paranoia, and fear the "popular" news media love to sell. One of my earliest memories of my childhood was of my mother singing this song which was going through one of it's many popular releases from 1930s through the 1960s . My mother loved to sing and play the piano. Krystal Harman is singing "You Are My Sunshine".
This song was popularized by Jimmie Davis (former Governor of Louisiana) who is frequently credited as the composer on music listings. Davis was never known actually to claim authorship but he bought the song and rights from Paul Rice in a series of previous ownership. Peer Music now holds ownership. The original composer and first public performer is thought to be Oliver Hood, a LaGrange, Georgia musician (about 1933).
The Jonesborough Farmers Market is restarting again for the 2020 season but with some changes to enforce "safe distancing" for reducing health risks from the Hunan bat soup virus.
Empty Bottle String Band performs at their 2019 September appearance for "Music At the Market" which is part of the Jonesborough Farmers Market held on Saturday mornings in historic downtown Jonesborough, Tennessee (Tennessee's oldest incorporated town). The band was formed when they were all students at East Tennessee State University to perform a one-time gig at a new on-campus farmers market ( • The Empty Bottle Strin... ). They were so well received they decided to keep going and one of their earliest off-campus gigs was at the Jonesborough Farmers Market ( • Empty Bottle String Ba... ). History suggests that a performance at this location has become somewhat of an annual pilgrimage and in 2019 they have scheduled appearances for both August and September.
