Big Rock Candy Mountains from "O Brother Where Art Thou"



My Daddy passed away peacefully yesterday.  Looking at this blog, I hadn't realized how many times I have shared stories of him and pictures of him also.  If you type "Daddy" into the search engine at the side of my blog, you will see what I mean.  Reading those posts, I think that my great love shows for him.  I hope he knew it too.    

He really loved the film, "O Brother, Where Art Thou".   I have a song for you here. Hope you like it.


That is a photo of my Dad on the left with his nephew, Edward.  In one of my posts, I wrote of my Dad's love of life or "joie de vivre.".   A picture really is worth a thousand words.

  1. I'm so sorry for your loss, Kay. My condolences to you and your whole family at this difficult time. I associate the song "Big Rock Candy Mountain" with my Dad too (who passed away almost 15 years ago). He used to sing it to me when I was a little girl.

  3. Dear Kay, If I didn't have a great Dad myself, I would have wanted yours! He was a wonderful person and I have not the slightest doubt that he knew how much you loved him. It must be so very hard right now for you. All I can do is send you a big, virtual hug and offer my listening ear (or reading eye) when you feel like it.

It has always been a pleasure to read about your Dad, and I know you enjoyed that as much as I used to like blogging about our excursions with my late father. All the best to you.
