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).

Smile Power Day

Here’s an article about the benefits of smiling: Smile Power – Increase your Face Value

A good day for nice cheerful songs. There’s an old square dance record called Smile Medley. Then there’s “Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella” and “Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag” (“and smile, smile, smile”).

I’ll occasionally do things like “Spin Chain Thru and the girls smile (or smile twice, or smile once and a half)”.
