My diary from 1952 (I was 12): During the ride home from Long Island I remember my 1st traffic jam and a late night disc jockey introducing the 1952 record “The Sun is Shining, Oh Happy Day” by saying “it was so bad, he would eat his hat if it ever got popular.” I kept track of that song and it did become an international hit without any initial support from the music industry.
