Isn’t that a song the Soggy Bottom Boys sang in “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou”? Was that filmed in Arkansas?

No. As soon as I saw the title, I (1) knew what it meant and (2) guessed that at least 50% who see it won’t.
We played that song at Daddys funeral. It gets all up in my feels.
Great foto Bullitt thanks for sharing.
Beck, glad things are looking up for you. You deserve it.
Glad you like it, hm.
Count me in the half that didn’t know. I thought it was a song, but it was the wrong song. Thanks for the link Darren.
It is truly a beautiful song. Here’s Vince Gill, and I think that’s Ricky Skaggs and Patty Loveless with him too — https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6jXrmAKBBTU
I adore this song. I find it hard to listen to, though. I was so horribly affected at my Dsddys death. I’m still, after a few years, grieving. I have many sibs who do not understand my grief. They want me to ‘get over’ it. I just cannot. I should’ve seen a grief therapist. Instead, I wallowed in it. I’m much improved now. It was bad though. I wouldn’t wish this pain on my worst enemy.
Thank you guys for letting me indulge in my self pity for a bit.
It helps to have a place to vent.
I’m in a better place today.
{{{Hugs}}} and love to you, Beck. You are blessed to have had your Daddy. And I’m confident that he was very blessed to have had you.
Please let me apologize if this discussion makes you sadder. I subscribe to the thought that “A joy shared is twice the joy, and a sorrow shared is half the sorrow.” But not all feel that way.
My wife tears up at this song, because it reminds her of her own father — The Leader of the Band, by Dan Fogelberg.
Beck, I hope and pray that your moments of sadness soar up high to the joys of mountain summits when you remember the greatness of your father, and may he live on through the testament of your own life, and those of your family, and then we all benefit as you make this world a better place.
Thank you.
Bullitt- thank you. Very nice! (:))
Friend Beck, sometimes the melancholy is a needful thing. A few glasses of wine, and an old movie, and a sad but wonderful memory of my Mom just lets me remember her fondly. It has been 19 years and I miss her every day.

This year hasn’t been kind. I’ve suffered a number of losses of people I care about, and my job is making me crazy. I’ve had mornings when I couldn’t get my sorry butt out of bed, due to feeling blue.
But, I remind myself that I have friends (including here!) who are there for me, and who help keep me going. That helps a lot.
Sending lots of positive energy your way.
((((Many hugs))))
