July 14, 1946: Dr. Spock's Book, Baby and Child Care, Published

This book is one of the biggest best-sellers of all time, and was probably influential for many of us baby boomers.
I guess any song with "baby" in it is fair game, but You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby seems appropriate, or maybe Rockabye Your Baby (songs where "baby" is used to refer to an infant rather than a girlfriend).

July 14, 1912: Woody Guthrie's Birthday

Called the father of American folk music (also the father of folk singer Arlo Guthrie), Woody wrote more than 1000 songs.
I have This Land is Your Land. Also, if you have a copy of Redwing, you also have Union Maid, a Guthrie song written to to the tune of Redwing. "Oh you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union".

March 10: Festival Of Life In The Cracks Day

Nobody seems to know what this means or how it started, but it's listed on lots of sites.
Maybe your dancers could come up with a theory or an idea for this "holiday". I've called a very nice contra dance called "The Emptied Crack" by Al Olson.

March 10: Middle Name Pride Day

Here are two big reasons to be proud of your middle name: First, there are plenty of John Smiths and and Mary Jones. It's the middle name your parents gave you that makes your name unique. Second, your parents chose your middle name with great care. It often was selected to honor a friend or relative. That person may have possessed certain characteristics that they want you to inherit.
You could ask people for middle names that might be used in songs; there are lots of songs that use names...one of them must be someone's middle name!
