Elektra says this is 'from soup to nuts'. I hope it's entertaining.

And now, I have to look on the sunny side. After this trip to the dentist, I should be able to chew again...

Unfortunately I have no suggestions, I just wonder if the sunny side is really that good when the farms have no water. smiley - winkeye

Gnomon - time to move on

I enjoyed this song in the film Oh Brother Where Art Thou, and I have the soundtrack on CD so I often listen to it. It has a good mandolin part on it.

I think that keeping on the Sunny Side is definitely part of my outlook on life.

"His fans are grateful, because he only wrote his most famous song, There Is a Fountain, shortly before he died."

-- this sounds a bit odd. It would be even odder if he had written his most famous song after he died. What you intended to say, I think, is that he wrote this song after he gave up attempting to commit suicide.

Yeah, that version in 'O Brother' is pretty cool.

I didn't really mean to say he wrote the song after he stopped being suicidal, because he never really did. His housekeeper even wired his bedroom for sound so that she could transmit affirmations at him while he slept.

What I meant to say was that he lived long enough to write 'There Is a Fountain', which he wrote late in life. I've reworded, thanks. smiley - smiley
