Musical Production of the Carter Family Scheduled at the Ozarks
The University of the Ozarks will present the 
musical production of "Keep on the Sunny Side
The Songs of the Carter Family" at 2pm, Sunday,
January 16, in the Walton Fine Arts Center on
the Clarksville campus.
                  
The event is part of the university's 2004-2005
Walton Arts and Ideas Series.  Tickets are $10
each and can be purchased by calling 479-979-

Presented by the Barter Theatre of Virginia, the
production tells the story of the Carter Family--
Alvin Carter, his wife Sara and their sister-in-
law maybelle CArter.  The shy gosphel trio would
become the most influentail group in country
music history.  From their landmark first  
recording session in Brstol, Tenn., in 1927, to 
their signings with Victor, ARC and Decca
records, through the Great Depression, and their
final retirement in 1952, "Keep the Sunny Side"
brings to liffe the drama, music, laughter, and 
love of the first family of country music.  They
would record more than 250 songs, leaving a 
body of work that helped shape modern country
music.
