Sunshine Smile

The last few days we've been lucky enough to see some sun and there is nothing that makes me smile more than sunshine. As we all know the weather is fairly unpredictable in Britain and chances are this glorious weather won't last, but this song by Lesley Gore should keep the sun shining in your life even if the weather does turn gloomy. There is no way this song won't make you smile! Enjoy :)

Peace & Love X

Smile and Ac-Cen-Tchu-Ate The Positive!

I'm currently preparing for a 1950s style concert and while I was researching 50s songs I came across this classic hit. Most famously recorded by Bing Crosby and The Andrew Sisters in the 1940's “Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Postive” was covered by several different artist during the 50s and the 60s. Although I love the version by Bing and The Andrew sisters it was this jazzy Aretha Franklin cover, recorded in the 60s, that made me smile. I think the message in the song is one to remember whenever your cup is feeling particularly half empty, which mine unfortunately is today. So go on Accentuate the positive and smile!:)
