Subject: RE: Help: Did Jimmie Davis really write SUNSHINE?
In answer to the question in the first post, the horse was named after the song. Sunshine was the palomino gelding that Davis literally rode into office in 1960 -- right up the capitol steps and into the governer's office. Sunshine wore rubber horseshoes for the occasion. Sorry it took 7 years to answer.
