Sing & Smile

Editor, Times-Union:

In the morning, in the evening ain't we got fun.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, in the meantime, in between times ain't we got fun.This piece of music came out in the 1930s in the deep depression.

It seems that more happy music was written at that time.

When you're smiling, when you're smiling the whole world smiles at you.

Get your coat and get your hat leave your worries on the door steps, just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street.

Smile when you're feeling blue, smile that's the thing to do, things never are as bad as they seem, so smile, smile, smile.

This type of music was more melodious, sweet, tuneful and pleasing; one would hear the words. It could lift you up and relieve some of the burdens.

Music has played a very important part in our culture and country whatever the problems.

Music is still with us today be it swing, jazz, country, rock and roll and today's music and church music.

Music written during the wars and peace time, has been a very vital part of our lives.

I think music can help us to go on with life whatever the problems are.

So smile, smile, smile

Ain't we got fun.
