Please Take My Children to Work Day

…a day to let stay-at-home moms have a good laugh and maybe get a little appreciation.

Also, National Lemonade Day.

Ahhh!  Refreshing.

History 101: James Smithson died on this day in 1829; Smithson’s will called for the establishment of a museum in Washington, DC, for “all people” -- the Smithsonian Institution has been a national treasure ever since.

Music History 101: June 27^th, 1964 a couple of former high school buddies who started singing in the boys’ locker room and later had the Beach Boys as a backup band released a record about a tiny elderly woman with a lead foot…Jan and Dean (Little Old Lady from Pasadena…)

The 101 number one song of the day was the first Lennon-McCartney song NOT recorded by the Beatles to top the charts in America.

It was one of Paul’s songs but the four Lads from Liverpool agreed it wasn’t quite right for them so it was offered to Billy J. Kramer who decided to pass. Another friend of Paul’s had just been signed to a recording contract a part of a duo and they needed material. They decided to give this one a try and the result was that on June 27^th, 1964 it rose to number one in America for Peter and Gordon (A World Without Love)
